Sunderland v Wycombe Wanderers Betting Tips [21 May 2022]

Sunderland and Wycombe Wanderers came through the League One promotion playoff semifinals with 2-1 wins and will face off at Wembley in the final. Sunderland were dominant in these two sides’ meetings in the regular season and they are unbeaten in the last three games against Wycombe. In their opening game of the Season Sunderland won 3-1 and in the second they drew 3-3 in an entertaining end to end clash. They will also be favorites here, having gone unbeaten in their last 15 matches. To book their slot here, Sunderland saw off Sheffield Wednesday after a 1-0 win at home and a 1-1 draw away. Ross Stewart will be their dangerman upfront, having scored 24 times in the regular season. His goal was also the difference in the first leg game against Sheffield. Playing in a forward line of a team that has scored in 16 of the last 19 matches, makes him a man in focus. However, only one of their last six games has produced over 2.5 goals.

In the last three meetings with Sunderland, which Wycombe have won none, they’ve conceded three or more goals. They will be determined to stop that run even as they look to recover from the 1-0 loss to MK Dons in their last game. Wycombe Wanderers have one loss in 14 matches and will feel they have a real chance against Sunderland. In the regular season they lost one and drew the other against Sunderland, and in the end finished one point below, which gives them the underdogs’ feel going into this clash. The loss to MK Dons was the first time Wycombe failed to score in nine matches but having beaten them 2-0 in the first leg meant they sailed through. That result marked the eighth game in Wycombe’s last 10 to produce under 2.5 goals. In their away run, they have no clean sheet in five, with both sides scoring in four of those five matches.

These two sides have had really high scoring games in recent meetings. However, in the run up to this game, things have been a bit cagey and looking at the prize in this game, we don’t expect either side to open up. Under 2.5 goals has been a dominant stat in these teams’ recent matches and we will go with that too in this game.
