Preview: Wycombe Wanderers vs Bradford City - prediction, team news, lineups

Wycombe Wanderers will be looking to get back to winning ways when they welcome Bradford City to Adams Park on Monday afternoon.

The hosts currently sit eighth in the League One table and are only three points off the playoffs, while the visitors are nine points above them in fourth.

Match preview

Wycombe head into Monday’s clash off the back of a disappointing 3-0 defeat to fellow promotion contenders Stockport County and will be hoping to pick up a crucial win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Odin Bailey, Isaac Olaofe and Adama Sidibeh were all on target for Stockport and Wycombe boss Michael Duff was not happy with his side’s performance, claiming they “gave up a bit from 55 or 60 minutes” and are in danger of “becoming nearly men”,

The Chairboys have only won two of their last six games, but they do have an impressive recent record at home with five wins in their last six matches at Adams Park.

It is also worth noting that Wycombe have only suffered one defeat to Bradford in their last five meetings across all competitions, although that loss did come back in August in the return fixture.

Bradford, meanwhile, picked up their first win in three games on Friday as they beat a struggling Northampton Town side 1-0.

An early goal from Stephen Humphrys earned them all three points and manager Graham Alexander admitted it was a “hard game”, with Bradford “a little bit open and gung-ho”,

Alexander will be hoping for an improved performance against Wycombe, but the Bantams have struggled away from home this season.

Since the start of 2026, Bradford have lost eight of their 10 league matches on the road with their only victories coming over rock-bottom Port Vale and fellow strugglers Blackpool.
