AFC Wimbledon v Millwall

The first of our FA Cup fifth round betting tips is for AFC Wimbledon v Millwall. AFC Wimbledon pulled off one of the major shocks of the Fourth Round when knocking Premier League side West Ham United out of the competition with a jaw-dropping 4-2 result in front of their own fans. The Hammers featured in a fair share of accumulators that weekend; however, they failed to live up to expectations, were eliminated and attracted the fury of fans. That made the result all the sweeter for their neighbours and players will dine out on stories of that famous win for the rest of their careers.

Appiah broke the deadlock inside 34 minutes and that advantage was doubled just before the break when Wagstaff scored the first of his two goals on the day to send his employers into the break with a stunning 2-0 advantage. A second-half onslaught was expected by West Ham and home fans feared the worst when the sides re-emerged; however, Wimbledon was bold enough to stop the fightback before it started, Wagstaff getting his second soon after the whistle. Everyone in attendance and watching around the country were left in a state of shock.

Perez and Anderson hit back for the beaten side, Sibbick scoring a fourth on 88. Another AFC Wimbledon home upset has been priced at 5/2 with Ladbrokes, making them outsider of three in the match betting. Bookmakers obviously haven’t learned their lesson. We suggest sticking with the feel-good factor and getting your money on The Wombles as a super single.

Lions Have Been Toothless

Not to be undone by their opponents, Millwall were another lower division side who knocked a Premier League club off their perch last time out when taking the scalp of Everton at The Den. The tie, shown live on TV, made headlines for all the wrong reasons following crowd trouble – one particular incident doing the rounds on social media was particularly disturbing for football fans. However, on the field of play, there was only one thing to talk about and that was just how good Millwall was. The Lions have been woeful in Championship action so far this season and look in danger of being sucked down into League One at the final count; however,  they had no trouble leaving their worries at the door and enjoying the thrill of playing knockout football.

Another thrilling encounter with plenty of goals scored, The Lions got the job done thanks to strikes from Gregory, Cooper and a fantastic 94th-minute winner from Wallace to send fans into dreamland. Everton thought they had done enough to force the replay, taking it back to Goodison Park with Richarlison and Tosun both on target; however, they didn’t bargain for that late winner and, in the end, could have little complaints about the score.

Millwall manager Neil Harris breathed a sigh of relief, crediting his team for digging deep to grab the victory. Marco Silva picked out two mistakes as the reason his side will finish without a trophy again this season, telling players they must be more mature if they are to right the wrongs made that day. Millwall is favourite across the board with Coral’s 10/11 the general idea in the betting ring. Both teams to score looks worth a punt at 10/11 – top price with Bet365.
