Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Wycombe Wanderers have completely dominated the league so far this campaign, going unbeaten for the last 17 games and are currently sat top of the table with both Birmingham and Wrexham breathing down their necks.

Manager Ian Evatt has led the club to eighth place in the league so far this season but with postponed games, The Trotters find themselves a win away from a playoff spot with a game or two in hand over the teams above them.

Wycombe Wanderers Preview

Formation: 4-1-4-1

Predicited Line-Up: Franco Ravizzoli; Daniel Harvie, Caleb Taylor, Joe Low, Jasper Pattenden; Aaron Morley; Beryly Lubala, Luke Leahy, Cameron Humphreys, Fred Onyedinma; Daniel Udoh

After walking over Shrewsbury 4-1 in their last match, it is expected that Matt Bloomfield will field an unchanged squad. However, it is highly likely that striker Daniel Udoh will get the nod to start over Wycombe top scorer Richard Kone. Kone is currently enduring a 4-game goal drought while Udoh scored 17 minutes after being subbed on against Shrewsbury, closing out the game and ensuring there was no route back for the home side.

Defender Caleb Taylor joined Bolton on loan in the winter last season but did not feature for them in their 1-0 loss to Wycombe in February, now he is on loan at the winning team and looks ready to continue being an absolute rock at the back for Wycombe.

Predicted Line-Up: Nathan Baxter; Will Forrester, Gethin Jones, Josh Dacres-Cogley; Szabolcs Schon, George Thomason, Jay Matete, Aaron Collins; John McAtee; Dion Charles, Victor Adeboyejo

Bolton are struggling majorly with injuries and now suspensions have kicked in. Both defenders Ricardo Santos and George Johnston picked up their fifth yellow card in the league this season in their defeat to Wigan last Saturday, forcing them to watch their teammates face top of the league from the sidelines. The midfield is also where the team is struggling with Jordi Osei-Tutu seemingly still affected by a previous knee injury.

Aaron Collins bagged a 13-minute brace in Bolton’s 3-1 victory over Huddersfield last week and with injury and suspension effecting the squad, Evatt could turn to the Irishman to start against the league leaders. Dion Charles has been the goal machine so far for Bolton Wanderers, charting 7 goals in the league campaign so far. However, without a goal in their last 2 games, Charles will be on the hunt for redemption and who better to do it against than top of the league.

Final Prediction: Wycombe Wanderers vs Bolton Wanderers

Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 Bolton Wanderers

With both teams' strikers failing to find the net recently, and with Wycombe’s defence playing so strong, we can see very few goals in this game. Wycombe have dominated this competition so far and we do not see Bolton having what it takes to defeat a side that do not really know what losing feels like.
