Looking to progress to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, Fulham will be desperate to end their four-game losing streak as they make the trip to Buckinghamshire to face an in-form Wycombe at Adams Park in midweek.
Saturday’s defeat at Newcastle marked the latest setback in what has been a wretched run for Marco Silva’s men, whose last positive result came against Cambridge in the previous round of the Carabao Cup.
Meanwhile, the third-division hosts approach this contest brimming with confidence following a commanding victory over Huddersfield in League One, a result that extended their unbeaten streak to five matches in all competitions. Wycombe reached this stage of the EFL Cup by overcoming Wigan Athletic 2-0 in the previous round.

Wycombe vs Fulham predictions: The Cottagers aim to end wretched run
Key stats:
- Fulham have won their last two away meetings with Wycombe, both in the EFL Cup.
- The Chairboys have scored in 11 consecutive matches across all competitions.
- Four of Wycombe’s last six games have seen both teams find the net, with over 2.5 goals recorded in as many fixtures during this stretch.
Correct score prediction: Wycombe 1-2 Fulham
All of Fulham’s last four outings have been in the Premier League, but facing lower-league opposition could provide the perfect opportunity to halt their miserable run. However, given Wycombe’s impressive momentum, the contest is expected to be competitive, with the home side likely to find the target, while Fulham’s superior quality should ultimately prove decisive.

Despite their dismal recent run, the Cottagers are strong favourites here, which is hardly a surprise given the gulf in competition level between the two teams. The visitors have been handed over three times the win probability of their hosts, with Fulham priced at a 66.7% likelihood of victory compared to Wycombe’s 16.7%.
Our hot tip of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is available at 2.30 odds, representing good value considering neither side has been particularly solid defensively in recent times, though both have posed threats going forward.
Most recent H2H: Will the Cottagers extend their winning streak at Adams Park?
The most recent meeting between these two sides came in the EFL Cup back in 2017, when Fulham claimed a 2-0 victory in this very fixture, making it consecutive wins at Adams Park in the competition.
Wycombe preview: Mikki van Sas should be back in goal
Wycombe enter this contest with almost a full squad available, with most regular starters fit for Tuesday’s clash. Dan Casey was absent from the squad last weekend despite starting the two matches prior, and it remains to be seen whether he returns to the fold. Right-back Niall Huggins is still a doubt, while midfielder Josh Scowen continues his long recovery from a cruciate ligament injury.
Head coach Michael Duff is expected to field a strong side similar to the one that defeated Huddersfield on Saturday. Mikki van Sas should reclaim his spot in goal after losing his place to Will Norris, who featured in the previous two EFL Cup rounds.
Predicted XI: Van Sas (GK), Grimmer, Allen, Taylor, Harvie, Leahy, Henderson, Bell, Quitirna, Onyedinma & Woodrow
Wycombe’s last five results:
- 25/10/25: Wycombe 3-0 Huddersfield (W)
- 18/10/25: Blackpool 1-1 Wycombe (D)
- 11/10/25: Wigan 0-1 Wycombe (W)
- 07/10/25: Wycombe 3-1 Fulham U21 (W)
- 04/10/25: Wycombe 2-2 Barnsley (D)
Fulham preview: Plagued with injuries
Harry Wilson remains doubtful for Fulham, while Rodrigo Muniz (hamstring), Antonee Robinson (knee), and Samuel Chukwueze (calf) are all expected to miss out once again here.
Given the need to stop their slide, Marco Silva is likely to name a strong lineup for this tie, though Benjamin Lecomte should start in goal. Meanwhile, Calvin Bassey could be dropped to the bench after a poor showing against Newcastle.
Predicted XI: Lecomte (GK), Castagne, Cuenca, Diop, Tete, Reed, Carney, Iwobi, Smith-Rowe, Traore & Jimenez
Fulham’s last five results:
- 25/10/25: Newcastle 2-1 Fulham (L)
- 18/10/25: Fulham 0-1 Arsenal (L)
- 03/10/25: Bournemouth 3-1 Fulham (L)
- 28/09/25: Aston Villa 3-1 Fulham (L)
- 23/09/25: Fulham 1-0 Cambridge Utd (W)
Player to watch: Raul Jimenez
Raul Jimenez has endured a challenging campaign so far, finding the net just twice in 10 appearances across all competitions, one of which came in the EFL Cup. The Mexican forward will be eager to rediscover his scoring touch as he leads the line on Tuesday, as Silva relies on his experience in the absence of Muniz.
