Wycombe Wanderers Preview – Can the Chairboys pick up a rare victory?
Life in the Championship has been tough going for Gareth Ainsworth’s Wycombe Wanderers so far. The Chairboys have struggled to get going all season and look nailed on to make an instant return to EFL League One.
Since surprise back-to-back wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City, Wycombe have taken just five points from a possible 33. Last time out, the Chairboys fell to a disappointing 2-1 loss at Bristol City, which was their fourth defeat in five matches.
Wycombe have the joint worst home record in the league, collecting a mere seven points so far. Wanderers have already been beaten five times at home, winning one and drawing four of the other five.
Bottom side Wycombe could certainly do with the points on Tuesday, but Cardiff are the favourites at Adams Park.
Cardiff City Preview – Bluebirds to bounce back with a win?
Cardiff City have had a strange batch of results in recent weeks. After winning just one of five, the Bluebirds went on to secure successive wins over Luton Town, Huddersfield Town, Watford and Stoke City. However, the club from South Wales head to Wycombe having lost three of their last four.
Cardiff were involved in a five-goal thriller with in-form Brentford at the Cardiff City Stadium on Boxing Day. Despite two Will Vaulks goals, a Sergi Canos hat-trick gave the Bees a 3-2 win.

Wycombe Wanderers vs Cardiff City Betting Advice
This will be just the ninth league meeting between Wycombe and Cardiff. The pair have not met since an old Division Two game back in April 2003, which the Bluebirds won 4-0 at Adams Park thanks to a Peter Thorne brace and goals from Alan Mahon and Andy Legg.
Wanderers have beaten the Bluebirds just twice, while Cardiff have won each of the last four meetings and are undefeated in five.

- This will be the first meeting between the two clubs for over 17 years
- Wycombe are bottom of the table, winning just two of their opening 21 fixtures
Having taken just three points form the last 12 available, Cardiff could do with maximum points from this one. In truth, Neil Harris’ boys should have too much quality for Wycombe to handle on Tuesday. Back Cardiff to win -1 at 12/5.
In Kieffer Moore’s absence, Robert Glatzel has led the line for Cardiff, with the German scoring three goals in his last seven outings. Take a punt on Glatzel to score first in this one at 6/1.
