Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Stevenage and Wycombe square off against each other at Lamex Stadium in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Boro are undefeated in the previous five league matches and they are surely capable of matching the Chairboys in front of home fans. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Alex Revell is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Blackpool at the weekend.
Wycombe, on the other hand, head into the Boxing Day clash following a goalless draw with Bolton. As both sides looked solid at the back on Matchday 21, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Nigeria forward Daniel Udoh is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute against the Trotters. Brandon Hanlan could play some part in Thursday’s clash after overcoming his injury.
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.
