Wycombe Wanderers continue their EFL Trophy campaign with a home fixture against Bristol Rovers at Adams Park on Tuesday evening. The Group South match offers the Chairboys a chance to build on their strong start to the competition this season and secure a place in the knockout stages.

Wycombe currently sit 12th in the League One standings with 10 points from eight games, a solid platform from which to approach this cup tie. They are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, a run that includes a 2-2 draw with Reading last time out.

Wycombe's Trophy form

In the EFL Trophy this season, Wycombe have taken four points from their opening two matches. They have one win and one draw, scoring three goals and conceding two for an average of two points per game. This solid record will give them confidence as they look to secure a positive result. Manager Matt Bloomfield is expected to rotate his squad, giving opportunities to players who have seen less League One action while managing the fitness of key individuals.

Bristol Rovers' Trophy record

Bristol Rovers arrive with a different profile, having averaged one point per game from their two Trophy outings. They have been prolific in attack, scoring an average of two goals per match, but have also conceded at the same rate. Their leading marksman this season is midfielder Isaac Hutchinson, who has 16 goals in all competitions. Rovers' manager Joey Barton may also make changes, with his side having played a League One match just three days prior to this fixture.

Recent form and key players

Wycombe's recent form is strong, with three wins and two draws in their last five. Top scorer Fred Onyedinma, with 10 goals this term, will be a key threat if selected. Bristol Rovers' last five results include two 1-0 wins but also a defeat to Peterborough. Their season has been a mix of results, making them an unpredictable opponent.

Team news and context

Wycombe will assess several players ahead of the tie, with updates available on the club's injuries page. The match represents a chance for both sides to build momentum ahead of the weekend's league action. A win for Wycombe would put them in a commanding position to qualify from the group.

Wycombe's next fixture is a home League One match against Luton Town on Saturday.
