Match Preview: Wycombe Wanderers vs Birmingham City - Expert Analysis

Wycombe Wanderes welcome Birmingham City to Adam's Park after both sides had a dissapointing start to the season, with the two teams looking to get their first wins in League One for the season.

Wycombe started their season last week away in Wrexham where the Hollywood-backed Welsh side won 3-2. Despite Wrexham being the newly promoted side, the story around them and the financial backing they have slightly changes how people view them, with Wycombe probably pleased that they kept it competitive.

Wycombe followed on from the Wrexham loss by beating Northampton Town 2-0 away in the Carabao Cup, giving them confidence to head into this game.

Birmingham failed to impress on the opening day after being relegated from the Championship as they drew to Reading at St Andrews thanks to a late equaliser from Alfie May from the Penalty spot. However, Birmingham did get their first win of the season on Tuesday night as the Blues beat Charlton 1-0 at the Valley.
