Wycombe - Wigan Athletic predictions and free betting tips [12/03/2024]

English football serves up games that are simply a must-watch, they provide their eager audiences with emotional thrills and memorable moments, and even spark interest in those who aren't enamoured with football. On 12th March in League 1, the third strongest division in England, a match is scheduled at Adams Park, where Wycombe Wanderers will be locking horns with Wigan Athletic. 

Wycombe Wanderers

A relatively unknown team that spent the majority of its time in League 2. In the 2017/2018 season, the team managed to secure 3rd place in the 4th division and made it to League 1. Their success didn't stop there; a year later, they won the League 1 playoffs and got promoted to the Championship for the first time. However, the very next season saw them return to League 1, ending in a disappointing 9th place.

At present, Wycombe has been slipping in their form, currently sitting at 15th place on the leaderboard. In their 32nd round, they had a goalless draw with Oxford. Following this, the team suffered a close loss to Stevenage. The next match saw them clinch a victory over Cheltenham with a score of 2:0. Subsequently, they encountered a defeat against Barnsley (2:4). In their last fixture, they triumphed over Reading with a score of (2:1).

Wigan Athletic

Due to financial complications, the team was deducted 8 points, making their ascension in the leaderboard quite challenging with such a lead from their competitors. Presently, they are sitting in 13th place.

In the 33rd match, Wigan secured a slender victory over Shrewsbury. Following this, they had a draw with Cheltenham (1:1). In the subsequent round, the team prevailed over Bolton with a score of (1:0). Later, they suffered a decisive defeat from Fleetwood (2:4). In their last game, they squeaked past Leyton Orient.

Head to Head

The last face-off between Wycombe and Wigan took place on January 23rd, 2024. That match concluded with a narrow victory for Wigan.

Prediction

While Wycombe is doing reasonably well on their home turf, 'The Latics' are alternating between victories and defeats. Taking that into account, I would suggest a bet on the home victory.

Over/Under Total

I believe that both teams have the capability to deliver a high-scoring game in this face-off, so I propose to place a bet on over 2.5 goals.
