Prediction: 1-1
Wycombe
Following three consecutive wins in preseason, Bradford City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Wycombe in the season opener. The Bantams are brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Stephen Humphrys, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
The Chairboys, on the other hand, did well to hold star-studded Premier League side Tottenham to a draw in their last friendly game. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Valley Parade as Bradford City are tough to beat at home. Wycombe midfielder Josh Scowen misses the opening match of the season with a knee injury, while new recruits Dan Casey, Stuart Moore, James Tilley, and Caolan Boyd-Munce are all pushing for a start.
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.
