Competition: Championship
Market: Over 2.5 goals
Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport
With a chance to potentially climb to the top of the Championship table in midweek, Bournemouth will welcome a struggling Wycombe to the Vitality on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Bournemouth might have opened December with that dramatic 3-2 defeat against Preston on home soil, the Cherries have managed to bounce back in impressive fashion. Still opening Tuesday’s fixtures holding onto their spot in the automatic positions, new boss Jason Tindall has seen his side collect seven points from their last three Championship contests. Really laying down a marker over the weekend as they look to book a Premier League return at the first attempt, fans around the Vitality saw their squad pick up an eye-catching 5-0 romp against Huddersfield on the South Coast. Also managing to hit Barnsley for four on their recent unbeaten run, it is worth keeping an eye out for the red-hot Dominic Solanke on Tuesday night. Bagging himself a brace against the Terriers over the weekend, the one-time Liverpool starlet has already notched himself eight Championship goals so far this season.
As for the visitors, although Wycombe might have gained plenty of plaudits after securing a maiden campaign of Championship football earlier in the year, the Buckinghamshire outfit do find themselves in the midst of an extended blip. Hit with a worrying 2-1 defeat against Coventry over the weekend and freefalling their way back into the drop zone, Head Coach Gareth Ainsworth has seen his squad collect just a single point from their last four second-tier contests on the bounce. Without a win to their name since November 4th, Wycombe also hold a reputation for their recent issues at the back. Shipping over 1.5 goals in all three of their December contests, the midweek guests hold the second-worst defensive record in the division. Losing each of their last three straight meetings against Tuesday’s title-chasers, Wycombe should face a stern test on the South Coast.
Bet: Over 2.5 goals at Bournemouth vs Wycombe 7/10 for Tuesday’s Championship showdown @ 888sport
