Wycombe Wanderers Preview – Can the Chairboys avoid another defeat?
Wycombe Wanderers, last season’s EFL League One play-off winners, have struggled in the Championship this season. Gareth Ainsworth’s men have been well out of their depth, winning just four league games up until now. Ahead of this Tuesday’s clash, Wanderers have already lost 18 times in this season’s Championship.
Since a 2-1 win at St Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium on 4th November, Wycombe have picked up just two Championship wins. However, they have taken four points from the last nine on offer, beating Huddersfield Town and holding Millwall to a draw. Can they pick up a positive result on home turf this Tuesday?
Only Birmingham have a poorer home record than Wycombe this season, with Ainsworth’s side taking just 11 points at Adams Park. The home win here is available at 16/5.
Reading Preview – Royals to return to winning ways?
After a 2-0 loss to Middlesbrough at the Madejski Stadium last time out, Reading will be desperate for maximum points from this one. The Royals are still nicely positioned in the Championship play-offs, but Veljko Paunovic’s side have lost four of their last five.
Reading have been tough to beat on their travels of late, losing just one away Championship game since November. Paunovic’s troops are undefeated in five away league matches, winning two and drawing three. Only Norwich City, Brentford, Cardiff City and Preston North End have picked up more away points thus far.

That was the first league meeting between the pair since 2002.
