Match review Wycombe Wanderers vs Fulham, 2:45 a.m. October 29: Breaking the streak of sad days

VHO - Commentary on the match Wycombe Wanderers vs Fulham, round 4 of the English League Cup, against an opponent playing in the English 3rd division, becomes a good opportunity for coach Marco Silva and his team to break the streak of 4 defeats.

Wycombe Wanderers vs Fulham form

Wycombe Wanderers had to start their journey in the English League Cup from round 1. Despite many difficulties, the team playing in League One (equivalent to the third division) finally recorded their name in round 4.

In all three previous appearances, the team under the direction of coach Michael Duff only had to face opponents of equal or lower rank. Therefore, welcoming Fulham promises to bring a significantly bigger challenge.

Over the past two decades, the Adams Park team has had a total of three encounters with Fulham in the League Cup. In the first meeting in 2006, Wycombe Wanderers surprisingly defeated the home team Fulham 2-1, despite entering the match as underdogs.

However, in the two rematches that followed in 2015 and 2017, Wycombe Wanderers failed to make a positive impression. In both of those matches, the home advantage could not help The Chairboys avoid defeat, losing 0-1 and 0-2 respectively.

At present, the home team is still more or less confident in their ability to repeat their feat against Fulham. After a poor start, the form of coach Michael Duff and his team has clearly improved.

In the last 8 appearances in all competitions, Wycombe Wanderers have lost only 1, drawn 2 and won 5. In addition, the unbeaten streak in the last 5 home games, with 4 wins, has also become a support that brings a more optimistic atmosphere than in August.

On the other side of the front line, Fulham traveled to Buckinghamshire with a rather gloomy face. In the last 4 rounds of the Premier League, the team under the direction of coach Marco Silva has been empty-handed.

Fulham are on a run of four consecutive defeats.

Last weekend, the London team put in a strong performance in Newcastle's visit to St James' Park but were still defeated by a goal in the final minute of regulation. Before that, The Cottagers also lost to Arsenal, Aston Villa and Bournemouth.

If you look at Fulham’s recent opponents, it’s easy to see that they are all teams that are playing very well. Therefore, the match against an opponent that is only ranked 17/24 in League One will be seen as an opportunity for Kevin Santos and his teammates to find their winning inspiration again.

Fulham's away record since the start of the season has been quite poor. The Craven Cottage team has drawn just once and lost four of their last five away games. However, having to play away against Brighton, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Newcastle is clearly not a pleasant experience.
