EFL Cup Betting Preview: Wigan vs Wycombe

League One teams Wigan and Wycombe square off in this EFL Cup third round match at The Brick Community Stadium, with kick-off set for 15:45 on Tuesday 23 September. Our betting preview features expert predictions, betting tips, the latest odds, H2H stats, team news and confirmed lineups.

We’re Not Expecting the Goal Tally to Exceed Two

We can make an argument for betting Under 2.5 when it comes to Total Goals. The stats imply that Wigan and Wycombe could fall short of this total and the price of -135 looks a value one.

Goalless Draw in Pair’s Last Battle

Wigan Athletic suffered a defeat in their last game. A 4-1 League One scoreline occurred away from home at Toughsheet Community Stadium against Bolton Wanderers.

Wycombe Wanderers secured a 2-0 League One home win over Northampton Town at Adams Park in their previous game.

In their most recent EFL Cup matches, Wigan won 1-0 when hosting Stockport County, while Wycombe landed an away win on penalties (1-1 AET) against Bromley.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Wycombe are unbeaten in the past three games against Wigan, with the last clash seeing a 0-0 League One draw played out at Adams Park. The previous 6 H2H games have seen two wins for each team and two draws.
