Wycombe Wanderers vs Ipswich Town Match Preview - EFL League One

Wycombe Wanderers vs Ipswich Town


Wycombe Wanderers vs Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town will be looking to stay at the summit this weekend as they travel to Wycombe Wanderers in an exciting encounter in EFL League One.

Wycombe have started to show some decent form at home but Ipswich on the road appear to be a completely different prospect.

We've got you covered for a full comprehensive preview of this EFL League One clash, with both sides chasing three points in order to maintain their promotion dreams.

Wycombe Wanderers vs Ipswich Town

Wycombe are looking to build after a poor start to the season and Ipswich are very much hoping to keep the good times rolling, which should make Saturday's encounter all the more exciting.

Whilst the Chairboys were unable to follow up their home victory against Portsmouth away at Lincoln, there's every chance the Adams Park faithful will roar them through another tricky encounter.

For Ipswich, their recent victory over Peterborough United solidified their title credentials and sent them top after other sides slipped up.

Wycombe Wanderers

Gareth Ainsworth looks to be boasting a clean bill of health for this EFL League One clash.

With no fresh injury concerns, Wycombe will be starting strong and hoping they can dent the title hopes of the Tractor Boys.

Ipswich Town Team News

For Ipswich, there are no fresh injury concerns as the bill of health starts to look a lot cleaner.

Sone Aluko returned against Peterborough and showed his class, whilst Lee Evans on co-comms confirmed he's close to a return as well.

You'd imagine that Town will start the same at Wycombe, with Connor Chaplin certainly the man in form right now.

One to watch is Janoi Donacien, with no word yet on the severity of the injury that forced him off on Saturday.

Predicted Lineups

Wycombe will be pretty pleased with their recent form and the rising credentials of Anis Mehmeti look to be sweetening the deal.

We could see the Chairboys throw in Sam Vokes to test Town's defensive fragilities, but other than that they will likely remain unchanged.

Wycombe (4-2-3-1): Stryjek, Obita, Mawson, Tafazoli, Grimmer, Wing, Scowen, McCleary, Mehmeti, Wheeler, Vokes

Ipswich Town have proven to be quite the side when travelling away from home and Kieran McKenna's men will likely be unchanged from their strong victory against Posh.

Last season's 4-1 win at Adams Park will be stored in the memory bank as a sold-out away end will hope to roar Town to the top for Christmas.

Ipswich (3-4-2-1): Walton, Donacien, Woolfenden, Burgess, Morsy, Humphreys, Davis, Burns, Chaplin, Aluko, Jackson

Score Prediction

A few weeks back, the outcome of this one looked academic, but Wycombe have picked up and Town have started to show some fragilities.

That being said, it's hard to look past Ipswich for this one, with their form on the road and recent positive track record against Wycombe certain to help.

Kieran McKenna's first game in charge of the Blues was a tight 1-0 win at Portman Road against the Chairboys, and we think the Northern Irishman will be celebrating his one-year anniversary with another victory on the road.

Score Prediction 1-2
