AFC Wimbledon have the chance to call upon the spirits of yester year, as they take on Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup. AFC Wimbledon have endured plenty of turmoil in the club’s history, but their 1988 FA Cup win remains one of the greatest David vs Goliath stories in English football and how they would love to channel some of that energy here. Newcastle know that they are in for a tough evening in West London, but they have plenty of top quality in their ranks.

AFC Wimbledon vs Newcastle United Analysis
This should be a super contest in the capital, with both sides looking to book their place in the next round of the Carabao Cup.
AFC Wimbledon
Pushing for promotion at the top end of League Two, AFC Wimbledon have become a yo-yo side of sorts in League’s One and Two over the past few seasons. Key to their aspirations is sustaining a club in the notoriously ruthless English football league structure and their status within the division remains as strong as ever. A cup run would do the club the world of good and having Newcastle in town should be a great money spinner.
Team news: It looks as if Wimbledon will have a full choice of squad to pick from here.
AFC Wimbledon Predicted Lineup:
Goodman, Lewis, Johnson, Harbottle, Smith, Reeves, Neufville, Hippolyte, Furlong, Maycock & Pigott.
Newcastle United
With an unbeaten start to the Premier League season to bask in, Newcastle will be bang up for ending their trophy drought this term. Not having European football to contend with could prove to play in their favour this term and they could pour plenty of eggs into the Carabao Cup basket this term. Toon have a young and exciting squad and games like this have the potential to define their aspirations in 2024/25.
Team news: Sven Botman and Jamal Lascelles remain out of action for the Magpies.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup:
Dubravka, Trippier, Burn, Schar, Hall, Tonali, Murphy, Almiron, Longstaff, Osula & Wilson.
AFC Wimbledon vs Newcastle United Prediction
Cup ties like this always bring about plenty of media attention and once again, this should be an absolute belter for the neutral in south west London. AFC Wimbledon have started the season well and look to be pushing for the play-offs in League Two, so they won’t fear this assignment. However, Eddie Howe will be giving minutes to players with plenty of points to prove and Newcastle should manage to pick up a comfortable win on their travels here.
Prediction: Newcastle United to win the match – 1/4 (-400) – Rhino Bet.
AFC Wimbledon vs Newcastle United – The Ultimate Bet
Newcastle to win & BTTS – 2/1 (+200) – Fitzdares
Whilst there are three divisions between these two sides, AFC Wimbledon could pose a few defensive problems for the Magpies but Newcastle should win pretty comprehensively in this one.
