National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Wycombe Wanderers or Burton Albion that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Wanderers and Burton Albion.
Wycombe Wanderers form and stats
Wanderers was eliminated in the group stage last season in the EFL Trophy.Wycombe Wanderers have been very solid at home in the League One so far, with 18 points collected from 7 matches (6-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 4th position in the table.
Wanderers drew their last game, 2-2 away at Hartlepool United.
Preceding that match was a League One defeat to Ipswich Town (1-4).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Wycombe Wanderers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost zero.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Wanderers, as the League One home game vs Portsmouth is only four days away.
The Wycombe Wanderers manager G. Ainsworth has got the team scoring with 14 from 7 home games in the league. On the other hand, Wanderers have conceded 10 goals.
Burton Albion form and stats
Burton's mission in EFL Trophy last season failed in the group stage.Burton Albion have only collected 8 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-2-4 (8 played).
It's the second away game in a row for Burton Albion, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Fleetwood Town in the FA Cup last time out.
Prior to that match, the Burton manager J. Hasselbaink faced defeat when travelling to Wigan Athletic and losing 0-2.We have checked recent matches where Burton have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were four victories, two draws and six defeats.
A new game in only four days for Burton Albion, the League One home match versus Charlton Athletic. Busy days.
Burton are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 8 away games. 10 goals have been conceded by Burton Albion in these games.
