It’s Wycombe Wanderers vs. Aston Villa in a David vs. Goliath matchup that’ll have you on the edge of your seat… assuming you can afford one in this economy!
The Chairboys of Wycombe are ready to show that they’re not just here to be Villa’s practice dummies. Meanwhile, the Villans will be hoping to avoid becoming the butt of every football joke until the next round of the FA Cup. Will Wycombe pull off a miracle, or will Villa cruise through smoother than a hot knife through butter? Let’s find out!
Key Players
Wycombe Wanderers:
- Sam Vokes: This Welsh striker is so experienced, he probably remembers when football was invented. Well, almost.
- Josh Scowen: He’s got more energy in midfield than a toddler on a sugar rush.
Aston Villa:
- Ollie Watkins: This striker is so quick, he could probably deliver your pizza before you even order it.
- Amadou Onana: This Belgian midfielder is smoother on the ball than a freshly waxed floor in socks.
Prediction
While Villa are the clear favorites, Wycombe aren’t here just to roll over and play dead. They’re more like… play alive and roll under. Get it? Because they might sneak an upset? No? Tough crowd.

Wycombe Wanderers 1 – 3 Aston Villa
