Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After sharing the spoils with Northampton at the weekend, Wycombe will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they face Barnsley on Matchday 29. The Chairboys aim to overtake Birmingham City in top position and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Tykes. Richard Kone should keep his place in the starting XI despite his negotiations with Luton Town, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Barnsley, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their under-par displays in back-to-back defeats to Bristol Rovers (1-3) and Stevenage (0-1), we believe that there is a big value in betting on Wycombe. Republic of Ireland forward Neil Farrugia is rated doubtful for the visiting side after limping off with injury in the last league match. There are no other selection worries in the away team.
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.
