Wycombe Wanderers vs Aston Villa prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - September 24, 2024
Wycombe
One of the third-round English League Cup fixtures will take place on Tuesday at "High Wycombe," where Wycombe Wanderers will face off against Aston Villa. Here's a match prediction from the Dailysports expert team.
Wycombe Wanderers
The "Chairboys" have never played in the top flight and were far from promotion last season, finishing in 10th place in League One, 11 points behind sixth-placed Barnsley. Wycombe lost their opening two matches of the current campaign to Wrexham and Birmingham, both by a 3-2 scoreline.
However, the situation has since improved, as Wycombe went unbeaten in their next four matches, securing three victories in the process. Most recently, they defeated Cambridge United 2-1 at home. In the earlier rounds of the League Cup, they overcame Northampton Town and Swansea City.
Aston Villa
The "Villans" were a surprise package last season, securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League. Over the summer, Villa strengthened their squad and have started the new Premier League season well. Midweek, Aston Villa began their Champions League campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory away to Swiss side Young Boys.
In the Premier League, Villa opened with a 2-1 win away at West Ham, though they couldn't take any points in a home clash with Arsenal, losing 2-0. Unfazed by the defeat, Villa responded with consecutive wins over Leicester, Everton, and Wolverhampton.
