On the 1st of January in League 1, the third most powerful division in England, "Bristol Rovers" will play against "Wycombe Wanderers" at the "Adams Park" stadium at 15:00 GMT. Let's take a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision that will help to increase our bank.
Not a very well-known team, which spent most of its time in League 2. In the 2017/2018 season, the squad eventually took third place in the fourth division and managed to move up to League 1. After that, the team's success didn't stop, as a year later they won the League 1 play-off and made it to the Championship for the first time. However, they returned to League 1 just a season later. Last year they had chances to participate in the play-offs and return to the Championship, but ultimately the team gave in during the last few games and only finished ninth.
Currently, "Wycombe" has lost ground and now ranks 19th in the league table. In the 19th round, the team lost for the fourth game in a row, this time to "Shrewsbury Town" by the narrowest of margins. After that, they managed to break their losing streak with a draw against "Derby County" (1:1). Then there was a draw with "Port Vale" (1:1). In the next round, they once again suffered a defeat, this time from "Exeter City" (0:1). In their last game, the team drew with "Leyton Orient" (0:0).
The squad is constantly moving between League 1 and League 2. Three seasons ago they took last place in the third division of England and were relegated to a lower division, where a year later they climbed to third place. The last season in League 1 the team finished in 17th place, and now they are ranked 9th.
In the 19th round, they drew with "Cheltenham" (1:1). In the next match, the team gained an away victory over "Bolton" with a score (2:1). Then the team lost to "Blackpool" (1:3). After that, they won against "Portsmouth" with a score (2:1). In the last round, the team beat "Charlton" (2:1).
The teams last met on August 26, 2023. In that game, Wycombe won an away victory with a score (2:1).
In this confrontation, I would bet on the zero handicap of the guests. "Rovers" have been playing great lately, having won 3 out of 4 matches. Wycombe continues their losing streak, which has lasted 2 months already.
The most likely outcome will be the total under 2.5. Wycombe is currently barely scoring, and it's unlikely that the "Pirates" will manage to score a lot on the road.
