Tottenham – Wycombe

Adebayo Akinfenwa Tottenham Wycombe

Tottenham and League Two side Wycombe Wanderers will square off at White Hart Lane in a one sided FA Cup tie.

Tottenham is the team to beat right now in the Premier League, as they are coming after a 2-2 draw at Manchester City after a run of 7 consecutive wins in all competitions (6 of them by 2 or more goals). Spurs were in trouble for the first time in a long time at City last week, but they came back from 0-2 down to make a statement about the team’s strength, character, confidence and morale.

Wycombe is currently on the 5th place in League Two and they look good value to make the playoffs or maybe even push for direct promotion. The visitors are in amazing form, riding a 16 match unbeaten streak in all competitions and winning 12 of those games. On the other hand, they only won once in the previous 8 games. Also, the last 9 games played by Wycombe were either draws or 1 goal wins, so they aren`t totally dominant right now at their level.

Team news & lineups:

Mauricio Pochettino has a few injury worries and will rest his key players in this match, but he is still expected to field a decent lineup, with plenty of first teamers in there. Wycombe has a full squad to choose from.

Tottenham: Vorm – Trippier, Wimmer, Carter-Vicker, Davies – Dier, Winks – Sissoko, Son, Nkoudou – Jannssen

Wycombe Wanderers: Blackman – Jombati, Pierre, Stewart, Jacobson – Wood, Gape, O’Nien – Hayes, Akinfeva, Kashket

Tottenham fielded a similar lineup in their previous Cup tie against Aston Villa and they won that 2-0. It wasn`t a great performance, but Tottenham did the job and Wycombe is nowhere near Aston Villa in terms of quality.

Wycombe is in good form in League Two, but not good enough to go against a team like Spurs with any kind of chance. Their draws and 1 goal wins at low level do not convince me to give them a shot at keeping this close. Fact is that Wycombe is a decent League Two team in good form, fighting for promotion, but nothing more than that.

It`s also difficult to see Wycombe posing much threat on counters. Firstly because of the quality gap, secondly because their front line will probably be led by the 34 year old, +100 kg force of nature which is Adebayo Akinfenwa.

Tottenham is clicking on all cylinders right now and there`s no sign of them slowing down. Everybody is happy, pumped up and morale is great, which is very important ahead of a Cup game like this. That, along with the way they played with the reserves in their previous Cup tie, makes me believe that there`s no room for any kind of upset here. My tip is Tottenham to cover the -2 asian handicap. Prediction: Tottenham – Wycombe Wanderers 4-0.
