Preview: Wycombe Wanderers vs. Bolton Wanderers - prediction, team news, lineups

The visitors, meanwhile, will have the chance to claim a second straight victory after beating Northampton Town at the weekend.

Match preview

Having collected 20 points from their 12 league matches, Wycombe head into Tuesday's contest in eighth position and two points adrift of the playoffs.

Since losing to earlier this month, the Chairboys have put together a three-game unbeaten run, which began with a comfortable 4-1 victory over Fleetwood Town, before they edged out Stevenage in the EFL trophy.

Wycombe managed to avoid defeat in Saturday's away meeting with Peterborough United despite trailing at the break.

Brandon Hanlan opened the scoring, before goals from Joel Randall and Ephron Mason-Clark turned the contest in Peterborough's favour, but the latter scored an own goal just after the hour mark to ensure the contest finished as a 2-2 draw.

After playing four competitive away games in a row, Wycombe will be grateful to return to Adams Park, where they are unbeaten in four league games (W3, D1).

Bolton, meanwhile, are three points better off than their hosts, ensuring they enter the midweek encounter in fourth position.

After their three-game winning run was brought to an end by Carlisle United, the Trotters managed to produce a positive response in Saturday's home clash with Northampton Town.

Dion Charles netted his eighth league goal of the season to give Bolton an early lead, before Randell Williams doubled the advantage in the 16th minute, and while Sam Hoskins pulled a goal back in the second period, the Trotters saw out the remainder of the contest to secure a narrow 2-1 victory.

Ian Evatt's side will now turn their attention to Tuesday's away trip, and they have fared reasonably well on the road this season, losing just one of their four away matches (W2, D1).

However, picking up a positive result may be easier said than done, as Bolton have lost all of their previous three competitive away meetings with Wycombe.
