The EFL Championship’s bottom club Wycombe Wanderers welcome Derby County to Adams Park this Tuesday.

The Chairboys look to be heading back to EFL League One, but can Gareth Ainsworth’s side cause an upset on their own patch on Tuesday night?

Wycombe Wanderers Preview – Can the Chairboys build on last weekend’s win?
Wycombe Wanderers booked their place in the 2019-20 Championship by winning the 2018-19 League One play-offs. However, the Chairboys have found Championship life tough going so far, winning just four of 28 league games and suffering 17 defeats.
Having said that, Wycombe showed plenty of fighting spirit in Saturday’s battling win over Huddersfield Town. Wanderers left the John Smith’s Stadium with a 3-2 win thanks to goals from Anis Mehmeti, Joe Jacobson and Josh Knight. That was only their second league victory since 4th November.
Wycombe will not go down without a fight, and they have a very proud and talented manager in Ainsworth. Back-to-back Championship victories would certainly lift the spirit at Adams Park. The home win is available at 7/2.
Derby County Preview – Rooney’s Rams to secure a fifth win in six?
Since taking over at Pride Park, Wayne Rooney has guided Derby County to several vital Championship victories. In recent weeks, County have won four of their last five, beating the likes of Bournemouth, Queens Park Rangers, Bristol City and Middlesbrough.
Despite their superb upswing in fortunes, Derby are not out of the relegation woods just yet. Ahead of this round of fixtures, the Midlands outfit are in 19th spot, three points above Sheffield Wednesday, who currently occupy the final relegation place. With the likes of Wednesday and Rotherham United showing signs of life of late, the battle for survival could go to the wire.
