Fleetwood and Wycombe duel in the semifinals of the League One promotion play-off on Friday, July 3, at 19:30 p.m. The game at Highbury Stadium is announced to be a tactical one, in which the two defenses will be at a high price. That’s why we anticipate a balanced first half, with few goal phases.
Fleetwood finished in 6th place, with a goal difference of 51-38, being one of the “generous” teams in the betting on draws. But Fleetwood had an excellent form in the spring-summer and reached the final phase of the championship on merit. Before the forced break, Fleetwood managed points at Sunderland (1-1), with Blackpool (0-0) and Portsmouth (2-2). So, the morale of the white-reds is solid and the defense of the team prepared by Joey Barton promises good wins for us, in betting.
Wycombe lost to Fleetwood at the end of the regular season (0-1), but saved its position with a few key victories, in front of goalless teams. When playing away, Wycombe is not very generous with the goal phases, and the big stake of the match supports the bets on an eminently defensive game. At the same time, according to the numbers, we should have few corners here, especially if we do not witness many occasions and sutures until the opening score.
-Fleetwood have not lost in 12 consecutive matches in the league;
-Fleetwood have drawn in 3 of the last 4 matches played in League One;
-In all 9 direct duels so far, less than three goals have been scored;
-3 of the 9 direct matches so far have ended in a draw;
-Wycombe has drawn only once in the previous 15 official games;
-Fleetwood won 1-0 last straight duel (Madden ’75 goal);
PREDICTION: Fleetwood to win @ 2,05
