Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Wycombe will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Exeter City when they take on Blackpool in the League One round 25. The Chairboys kicked off 2025 in great manner and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash as well. Veteran Jamaica forward Garath McCleary is pushing for a start after the 37-year-old was rested in the midweek clash, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. Given Wycombe’s fine display in the triumph over the Grecians, we predict that the visitors will return home empty-handed. Defender Hayden Coulson is widely expected to return to Blackpool’s starting XI, while experienced striker Jordan Rhodes should once again start from the bench. It has to be noted that Wycombe defeated Blackpool 2-0 in their last meeting at Adams Park.
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.
