The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Bolton Wanderers as they have a new game in only three days, a Carabao Cup match thankfully also at home. Salford City are visiting.

Wycombe Wanderers form and stats

Let's have a look at how Wycombe Wanderers performed last season in the League One: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 23 victories, 14 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 75 and conceded 51 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 9 and lost 5 with 36/25 goals scored/conceded.

Impressive finishing from Mehmeti, Scowen and Wheeler secured the home win 3-0 against Burton Albion in their previous game. Wanderers delivered their win in the match against Burton Albion already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance! Midfielder Scowen was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.83. Scowen scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Sunderland's place.

Wycombe Wanderers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Wanderers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carabao Cup game at Northampton Town is waiting in only three days.
