Wycombe return to home soil on Tuesday night, looking for a second home win of the new year. The season has been ticking along rather than racing ahead, nothing flashy, but enough to keep them comfortable. Wigan sit five points behind and still glance over their shoulder. The Chairboys are slight favourites, though the Latics have made a habit of staying in games on the road. It might demand a bit more patience than expected.

League One
Since 2021, these two have crossed paths eight times in all competitions. Wycombe have generally come out on top, with four wins and five clean sheets along the way. Wigan have managed two victories, and two meetings ended level. Goals are rarely the headline here. An average of 1.5 per game pretty much sums up the pattern.
Wycombe team overview
Wycombe have lived in League One since their Championship drop in 2022. Last season felt like a missed opportunity. Fifth place, then a narrow playoff semi-final loss to Charlton.
This year has been quieter. Michael Duff’s side sit 12th, six points off the top six, not bad but not quite inspiring either.
A brief lift came with wins over Wimbledon and Northampton. That momentum stalled at Peterborough over the weekend.
At Adams Park, though, form has been solid. Just one defeat in the last four. Fred Onyedinma, the club’s top scorer, remains a doubt after missing the last match, while Niall Huggins is still sidelined with a knee issue.

Wigan Athletic team overview
Wigan are now in their third straight League One season. Mid-table finishes in recent years have given way to a more anxious campaign.
The Latics sit just above the drop zone, although the recent trend is not all bad. Ryan Lowe’s side have lost only twice in their last six games.
Last weekend summed them up. Three goals down, then somehow clawing back to draw 3-3 with Doncaster. Joe Taylor grabbed his first goal for the club in that comeback and should keep his place up front alongside Christian Saydee.
Discipline could be something to watch, with Will Aimson and Fraser Murray both one booking away from a ban. Otherwise, Wigan arrive with a clean injury list.

Prediction
It would not be a shock if this one drifts toward a quiet stalemate at Adams Park. Recent meetings between Wycombe and Wigan have often been decided by small moments, or not at all, with clean sheets a regular theme. Wycombe rarely come unstuck at home, and Wigan’s recent run of low scoring games only strengthens the feeling that chances will be limited again.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Only one of the last six meetings between Wycombe and Wigan produced more than one goal.
- Six of the last seven games of Wigan Athletic ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Bets on under 2.5 goals won in four of the last five games of Wycombe.
