Our prediction for this League 1 match:
All eyes will be on Adams Park when Wycombe and Peterborough square off against each other in the League One round 32. The Chairboys have regained a much-needed confidence thanks to a 3-1 win over Cheltenham Town, but they do not want to stop now. Brandon Hanlan remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Posh, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Peterborough and Exeter. The visitors are eager to climb to the automatic promotion berth, but given their difficulties at the back, the share of spoils is on the horizon at Adams Park. To make things even worse for the away team, talented forward Michael Olakigbe is banned for the match. Earlier in the process the two sides played out a 2-2 draw at Weston Homes Stadium.
Highlighted Team (Wycombe):
Founded back in 1887, Wycombe Wanderers are one of the oldest clubs in the League One. The Chairboys are well known for their sky blue and dark blue shirts, but the colour of their away kit is orange combined with gun-metal gray.
Wycombe Wanderers host their rivals at Adams Park, a small stadium in Sands Industrial Estate which can hold up to 10,137 people. Milton Keynes Dons are seen as the club’s main rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Buckinghamshire derby. Wycombe Wanderers made it to the FA Cup semis in the 2000/2001, with the team repeating the success in the League Cup six seasons later.
It has to be noted that the Chairboys have two FA Trophy titles (1991, 1993). Legendary midfielder Gareth Ainsworth is considered one of the club’s most famous players. Ainsworth scored 16 goals in 112 league appearances for Wycombe Rovers.
