Wycombe Wanderers Preview – Can the Chairboys cause an upset?
Since winning promotion to the Championship for the first time as League One play-off winners last term, Wycombe Wanderers have found life in the second tier tough going so far. They may come up short this season, but the experience will be in invaluable for the Chairboys.
Wycombe are 11 points adrift of safety with eight matches to play. So far, Wanderers have won six, drawn nine and lost 23. However, they have shown fighting spirit in recent games, beating Preston North End and taking a point from Coventry City.
Wycombe have struggled at Adams Park this term, taking just 17 home points from 19 games. Having said that, four of their six league wins have come on home soil. Gareth Ainsworth’s troops have beaten Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff City, Reading and Preston on their own patch – will Blackburn be added to that list on Friday?
Blackburn Rovers Preview – Rovers’ winless run to stretch to five?
Before a ball was kicked this season, Blackburn Rovers would have been targeting the play-offs. Although the Blue and Whites flirted with the top six at times in the first half of the campaign, they have really dropped off since the turn of the year.
Blackburn find them themselves down in a lowly 15th place at present. Overall, Rovers have won 12, drawn ten and lost 16. Blackburn have managed to claim just one Championship win since January.

When these two squared off at Ewood Park back in September, it was the first ever meeting between the clubs. It was a day to remember for Blackburn, who ran riot on home soil. The prolific Adam Armstrong helped himself to a hat-trick, while Tyrhys Dolan and Derrick Williams were also on target in the 5-0 rout.

Both would love all three points, but we fancy Wycombe and Blackburn to play out an entertaining draw at Adams Park. The draw and both teams to score is priced at 15/4.
Adam Armstrong hit a treble when the pair met at Ewood Park several months ago. Rovers’ main man is available at 11/4 to score the opening goal of this one.
