Our prediction for this League 1 match:
In-form Cambridge United will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Peterborough when they take on Wycombe on Tuesday evening. The U’s are determined to secure the League One survival, and you should know that they are eyeing their third consecutive win on home soil. Adam May remains on the sidelines with a serious injury, but there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The Chairboys, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Morecambe. Wycombe are five points behind the playoffs berth, and seeing that this has to go down as a must-win game for them, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Sam Vokes and Gareth McCleary are widely expected to return to Wycombe’s starting XI. In the first half of the season Cambridge United defeated Wycombe 3-2.
Highlighted Player (Liam O’Neil):
Born in Cambridge, England on July 31, 1993, Liam O’Neil is an English footballer who plays as both defender as midfielder for Cambridge United in the League Two. O’Neil is a product of the Cambridge United football school, but he played for Histon during his youth career as well.
In the summer of 2012 he joined WBA youth academy, and it has to be noted that he made three appearances for the Baggies at senior level in all competitions. Liam O’Neil played for the likes of VPS and Scunthorpe United on loan as well before joining Chesterfield in 2015.
After scoring two goals in 45 appearances for the club in the league, O’Neil moved to Cambridge United in the winter of 2017. As his mother comes from Wales, O’Neil is open to play for the Wales national team, but he has yet to earn a cap with the Dragons.
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.
