Wycombe Wanderers form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Adams Park as Wycombe Wanderers, who have the most points (33) at home in League One, have scored 26 goals to get 33 points from 14 games. The overall stats in the League One are 10-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager G. Ainsworth led his Wycombe Wanderers to a defeat in the League One match away at Peterborough United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Adams Park. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Rochdale in a game that was won 2-1.

As you see from the result above, Wycombe Wanderers suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Ryan Allsop had a busy but productive day in the Peterborough United match. Despite making 11 saves the loss could not be prevented.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Blackpool, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Lincoln City (placed 12th). A loss against Reading was the result prior to that, in a FA Cup home game.
