Wycombe Wanderers welcome Charlton Athletic to Adams Park for the English League One playoff semi-final first leg on Thursday. 

The hosts are coming off a disappointing end to the regular season and will look better keen to find their spark in the playoffs. The visitors have remained solid and having impressed on their recent travels, can avoid defeat and take a positive result home into the second leg. 

Wycombe Wanderers Form


A fifth placed finish was enough to earn Wycombe Wanderers a place in the promotion playoff. While it was ultimately comfortable, Mike Dodd’s team struggled in the final weeks of the regular season, losing their last three matches. 

Wycombe Wanderers head into this clash off the back of a 3-1 home defeat to Stockport County in their final fixture of the regular season. That result is part of an erratic home run for the hosts, who have picked up two wins and suffered three defeats in their last six fixtures in front of their fans.

A vulnerable defence has been a problem for Wycombe Wanderers, who have conceded eight goals in their last three matches. However, they often look sharp going forward and have scored in six of their last 10 home matches.

Charlton Athletic Form

 
In contrast to the hosts’ struggles, Charlton Athletic had a solid end to the season and are unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches to finish fifth in the table. They picked up six wins in that run and ended the regular season with a 3-1 home victory over Burton Albion.

Charlton Athletic have also done some good work on their travels and are unbeaten in six of their last eight away matches. Nathan Jones’ team have picked five wins in that run, with a 4-0 victory at Wycombe Wanderers in April among their results in that run.
 
Matt Godden leads a potent Charlton Athletic attack and has scored eight goals in the last 10 matches. While things look sharp going forward, the visitors need to tighten up at the back having failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last seven matches.

Head to Head


Charlton Athletic have the upper hand in this fixture and are unbeaten in five of the last six matches against Wycombe Wanderers. The visitors did the double during the regular season, claiming a 2-1 home victory in the first meeting before the 4-0 away win in the reverse fixture in April.

Verdict

Charlton Athletic have won six of their last eight matches and will head into this clash full of confidence. Having also won the last two meetings, they can earn a win or draw against Wycombe Wanderers, who have lost their last three away matches.
 
There is plenty of attacking quality on display and with both teams scoring in four of the last six meetings, a repeat is expected. Godden was on target in the away clash in April and having also scored eight times in the last 10 matches, could be set to add to his 18 League One goals this season.
