Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Sunday’s football game between Wycombe and Portsmouth will bring down the curtain on the League One round 20. The Chairboys aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Cheltenham Town, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Since Wycombe were not in action at the weekend, tired legs are unlikely to prove to be a big problem for the home side.
The Pompey, on the other hand, have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth. Portsmouth have already recorded four wins on the road this term, and given Wycombe’s poor home record (3-3-3), we are tempted to put our money on Danny Cowley’s troops. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the away side will be Colby Bishop, who scored a brace in the FA Cup 3-2 triumph over MK Dons.
Highlighted Player (David Wheeler):
David Wheeler is an English professional footballer who plays for League One's Wycombe Wanderers as a right-winger. He was born in Brighton on the 4th of October, 1990. The 29-year-old joined Brighton and Hove Albion's youth academy in the year 2000. He remained with the club for six years before joining Lewes, where he signed his first professional contract.
Ironically, his maiden competitive appearance for the club came as a substitute against his former team on the 5th of March, 2008. The following season, he scored his first-ever senior goal against Altrincham in the Conference South. The pacey winger left Lewes in 2011 and followed up with two successful stints at Staines Town and Exeter City, the latter for which, he made over 150 appearances and scored 39 goals in all competitions. At the start of the 16/17 season, he joined Queens Park Rangers on a three year deal in what was a high profile transfer but made little impact.
During his time at QPR, he was sent out on loan twice before being released from his contract in 2019. He joined his current club Wycombe on the 30th of June, 2019, and has made nine appearances for them so far. Wheeler's involvement with the International setup meanwhile has been restricted to featuring for the England Under-18 Schoolboys for whom he made eight appearances during the 08/09 season.
