Wycombe Wanderers face Queens Park Rangers in behind-closed-doors friendly
Wycombe Wanderers are set to face Queens Park Rangers in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the TSG Training Centre on Tuesday afternoon. The Chairboys have made an impressive start to pre-season, thrashing Ebbsfleet United 4-0, with Micah Olabiyi, Bradley Fink, Jamie Mullins, and Ewan Henderson all getting on the scoresheet.
What happened?
Queens Park Rangers have opened pre-season with a draw against First Vienna and a 3-1 victory over Wiener Neustadt. The R's have added several new faces, including Calum Ward, Boy Kemper, and Pierce Charles, while Sam Field, Isaac Hayden, and Steve Cook are among the notable departures from Loftus Road.
Why it matters for Wycombe Wanderers
Michael Duff will be keen to build momentum after a disappointing end to last season, which saw the Chairboys miss out on the League One playoffs. A run of four defeats from their final five matches effectively ended their promotion hopes before they finished the campaign with a victory over already-relegated Rotherham United, eventually placing 13th, 12 points adrift of the top six.
What comes next?
Following Tuesday's contest, the Chairboys will continue pre-season with fixtures against Farnham, Portsmouth, Yeovil Town, and Ipswich Town before beginning their competitive season against Stevenage in the EFL Cup. Queens Park Rangers, meanwhile, will complete their preparations with further friendlies against Fiorentina, Bromley, and Wimbledon after beginning pre-season with one draw and one victory.
Wycombe Wanderers' pre-season form
Wycombe Wanderers have made an impressive start to pre-season, thrashing Ebbsfleet United 4-0. The Chairboys have been active in the transfer market, bringing in goalkeepers Conor Hazard and Matt Macey, winger Silko Thomas, permanent signing Cauley Woodrow, and former QPR defender Steve Cook.
League standing
Wycombe Wanderers are currently 11th in League One, with 63 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WLLDL. They have scored 69 goals and conceded 58, with a goal difference of +11. They are 40 points behind leaders Lincoln in the title race.
