English football is a category of games that are simply a must-watch, as they provide their viewers with intense feelings and memorable experiences, and spark interest even from those uninterested in football. On March 9th, in League 1, the third strongest division in England, Wycombe Wanderers will take on Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
The team had long been absent from League 1, but last season they finally dropped out of the Championship, finishing 23rd in the league table. The season didn't start off well for them due to financial problems which led to a deduction of 4 points, so they currently sit in 17th place.
They drew with Fleetwood (1:1) in the 32nd round. However, after this draw, they suffered a heavy defeat from Portsmouth (1:4). In the next round, they managed to secure a home win against Port Vale (2:0). Then they lost at home to Shrewsbury Town (2:3). In the last match, they won away at Carlisle (3:1).
This lesser-known collective that spent most of their time in League 2, but in the 2017/2018 season, they secured the 3rd spot in the 4th division and made their way to League 1. After this, the team's success did not end there, a year later they won the League 1 play-off and progressed to the Championship for the first time. However, within a season they returned to League 1, finishing in 9th place.
At the moment, Wycombe are slipping back, sitting at the 15th spot in the league table. In the 31st round, they suffered a defeat from Bolton (1:2). This was followed by a goalless draw against Oxford. Subsequently, they suffered a narrow defeat against Stevenage. In the following match, they won against Cheltenham (2:0). And in the latest round, they were defeated by Barnsley (2:4).
The last head-to-head clash between Wycombe and Reading took place on the 25th of November, 2023. That encounter ended in an away victory for Reading (2:1).
Wycombe is currently playing not so well away, alternating between defeats and wins. Reading, on the other hand, appears much stronger, especially on their home ground. Over their last five home matches, they've won thrice, so I suggest betting on the hosts' win.
I believe that in this face-off, the teams might display a high scoring game, so I propose to bet on over 2.5 goals.
