Now that all 24 teams for the 2024/25 League One season have been confirmed, let’s look at when Wycombe Wanderers last took on the seven new sides who will compete in the third tier of English football.
Birmingham City– 2020/21 season
The Chairboys have only taken on the Blues seven times in their history, but the most recent encounter was three years ago when both sides were in the Championship.
The first meeting in November 2020 saw Wanderers come from behind to defeat Birmingham 2-1 at St Andrew’s, to secure their first-ever away victory in the division.
They met three months later in February 2021 at Adams Park, which ended 0-0.
Crawley Town– 2017/18 season
The Red Devils are back in League One for the first time in nine years, as their promotion means the up-and-coming fixtures against the Chairboys will be first time the two sides will meet in the third tier.
Prior to that, both Wycombe and Crawley only faced each other when in League Two.
The last match saw Wanderers beat the West Sussex side 3-2 at Broadfield Stadium in March 2018.
Huddersfield Town– 2020/21 season
Wycombe’s previous bout with Huddersfield Town will go down as a classic in the Chairboys archives.
In February 2021, Wanderers were 2-0 down inside 41 minutes at the St John Smith Stadium before strikes from Anis Mehmeti, a Joe Jacobson penalty, and a very late Josh Knight strike, secured one of the best league comebacks in Wycombe’s recent history.
The reverse fixture three months earlier at Adams Park was an incredibly lacklustre 0-0 draw.
Mansfield Town – 2017/18 season
A potential bogey team for Wycombe as they have only beaten Mansfield once out of their last five matches.
The good news is that when they last met, Wanderers were promoted, so a potential omen for the Chairboys?
The previous encounter saw Wycombe lose 2-1 at Adams Park to the Stags in December 2017.
Rotherham United – 2021/22 season
The side to have faced Wycombe most recently, Rotherham will be back in Wanderers’ league after a two-year absence.
Both games during the 2021/22 season ended goalless, and incredibly, 14 clean sheets have been kept from the 21 games played between the two teams.
Stockport County – 2010/11 season
It’s been 13 years since Wycombe last face Stockport County in any capacity, and that ended in a 2-0 victory for the Chairboys at Adams Park back in April 2011.
That year, Wanderers won promotion to League One, whilst Stockport finished bottom of the table, and were therefore relegated to the National League.
Wrexham – 2007/08 season
It’s been close to nearly 20 years since the two teams last met, with Wanderers winning the most previous clash – a 2-1 win at Adams Park in March 2008, with Scott McLeish scoring the winner.
Wanderers’ previous trip to the Racecourse Ground was in November 2007, which ended 0-0.
The new season will start on August 10.
