Head-to-head statistics Wycombe - Stevenage
Wycombe Wanderers Team Overview
The club finished 10th in League One last season. The start was a disaster under Mike Dodds - just one win in the opening fixtures - but after Michael Duff was appointed in September, the team improved noticeably.

Stevenage Team Overview
Under Alex Revell, Stevenage had one of their best seasons in recent memory - sixth in League One and a playoff semi-final, where they lost to eventual finalists Stockport County. The coaching staff stayed on through the summer, which at this level counts for something in terms of stability.
On the transfer front, the club brought in Terry Taylor, Josh Magennis and Oliver Sanderson, while losing some experienced players - including defender Charlie Good. Pre-season was taken seriously: friendlies against West Ham, Millwall and Colchester speak for themselves. Up front, Jamie Reid remains the key man - 14 goals last season, top scorer at the club.

Prediction on corners
- Stevenage have taken over 3.5 corners in 8 of last 9 games against Wycombe Wanderers.
⭐ Editor's Pick
By league position and overall squad quality, Stevenage have the edge - and keeping the coaching staff while bringing in reinforcements only backs that up, even if the bookmakers see it differently. That said, Wycombe are a tough home side in League One, and their recent cup run (fourth round last season) shows they know how to raise their game for this kind of match. Expecting an open game with goals at both ends, but on balance we lean slightly towards the visitors. Bet - Both Teams To Score - Yes. Score prediction - 1:2.
