Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Adams Park will be the centre of attention when Wycombe and Cambridge United square off against each other in the League One round 7. The Chairboys made a slow start to the season, but their recent displays are surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home, DR Congo forward Beryly Lubala should sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the EFL Trophy triumph over Brighton U21.
The U’s, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only one point on their account. Given Cambridge United’s difficulties at the back, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even more complicated for the away team, both Shayne Lavery and Danny Andrew limped off with injuries in the last league fixture.
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.
