Wycombe or draw

Wycombe are unbeaten in their five against Wigan

Wycombe Wanderers will take on Wigan on Tuesday night, in a game that could have huge ramifications at both ends of the League One table.

The hosts are still very much in the playoff picture and three points could send the Chairboys up to seventh in the standings but will also need results to go their way.

Wigan, meanwhile, have been dragged into a relegation battle following a bad run of form that has seen them yet to win in 2026.
