Our prediction for this League 1 match:
High-flying Wycombe will look to extend their winning run in all competitions to ten games when they welcome Mansfield Town to their Adams Park on Tuesday evening. The Chairboys are determined to secure automatic Championship promotion, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to meet the goal. Barring any fresh injury worries, Michael Skubala is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Lincoln at the weekend.
The Yellows, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form. Considering that Mansfield Town failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Wrexham and Bristol Rovers, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Goalkeeper Christy Pym has overcome a shoulder injury, but Rhys Oates remains in Mansfield Town’s recovery room. In their last meeting at the venue Mansfield defeated Wycombe 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
