Prediction: 2-1
Wycombe
Oxford United will look to regain their spot in top six when they take on fellow promotion-chasing side Wycombe at Kassam Stadium. The Yellows failed to impress in a 3-1 loss at AFC Wimbledon, but it is well know that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. The good news for the hosts is that Australia international Ryan Williams has overcome his injury.
The Chairboys, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Sunderland. Wycombe aim to get back on course as soon as possible, but seeing that Oxford have been impressive at home ground this season, we do not believe that the visitors are going to grab something from the match. The Chairboys attacker David Wheeler is pushing for a start after scoring a consolation goal in the defeat at Sunderland.
Highlighted Player (James Henry):
James Henry was born in Reading on 10 June, 1989, but he grew up in Woodley. He began playing football at his home-town club Woodley Saints, but he made progress during his spell at Reading’s youth academy. Henry is a winger who is capable of playing as a centre midfielder as well, but he failed to score for Reading in 10 league appearances for the club.
After ending his loan spells with the likes of Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Norwich City and Millwall, he signed a permanent deal with the Lions on 28 July, 2010. Henry signed a three-year deal with Millwall and he made his home debut in a 4-0 win over Hull City.
It has to be noted that Henry played for both Scotland and England at youth level in the past, but he has yet to make his debut for the first team. Henry was born in England, but his parents are Scottish and, as a result, he is eligible to play for both England and Scotland.
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.
