Southend v Wycombe Betting Tips and Predictions | Play-off Final

Southend v Wycombe predictions and football betting tips for the League Two play-off final at Wembley on Saturday 23rd May 2015.

 

A position in League One next season is the reward for Southend or Wycombe as they go head to head this weekend. Both sides saw off opposition in the Semi Finals to book their place at Wembley and it should be a thoroughly entertaining game.

 

Southend v Wycombe Predictions

 

Southend needed extra time to see off Stevenage but they blew a series of chances and decent goalscoring opportunities before putting the tie to bed after 90 minutes. Barry Corr, one of the strikers responsible for the fluffed chances and errant radar also missed an injury time penalty to send Phil Brown’s heart rate through the roof.

 

Wycombe went three up at Plymouth before a two goal comeback from the Pilgrims set up the second leg nicely. Wycombe won 2-1 at Adams Park and eased into the final. Nobody can deny Gareth Ainsworth’s side their position in this match as they were unlucky to miss out on automatic promotion and have provided one of the stories of the season after almost suffering the ignominy of relegation last year.

 

For our Southend v Wycombe predictions today it’s a difficult one to call as both sides have been playing well recently and Southend rarely lose these days. A last day 3-1 defeat to Morecambe was a rarity. The Shrimpers do draw quite a few games however and it might be better to back one of the teams to lift the trophy as opposed to winning in 90 minutes for our weekend football tips.

 

Wycombe to lift the trophy is even money and it may be the best option for a League Two play-off final betting tip. I think Gareth Ainsworth’s side have a unity that is enhanced by their almost-fall-from-grace last season and many of the loanees are young and hungry and looking to make a name for themselves. They have the wise old head of Paul Hayes who can add experience to a young team as well as the imperious Matt Bloomfield. I don’t think it’ll be easy, but I think an extra time goal could settle it for the Chairboys.

 

Our tipsters’ first Southend v Wycombe betting tip for today is for Wycombe to lift the trophy and the best odds are Evens with Paddy Power.

 

Wycombe games tend to involve goals whilst Southend like to keep things fairly tight. It leaves a difficult conundrum for backers in the both teams to score market. I think the open game that Wycombe play will encourage Southend to open up and leave a few defensive gaps. It’s a one off 90 minute game and whilst Southend will probably look to soak up a lot of the Wycombe pressure and hurt them on the break, I think both sides will find the back of the net.

 

Our second Southend v Wycombe betting tip is for both teams to score, the best odds are 10/11 with William Hill.

 

As previously mentioned, Barry Corr will be extremely disappointed he didn’t put the tie to bed in normal time against Stevenage when his spot kick rattled the bar. The anguish was etched all over his face and he will look to avenge that miss in the League Two play-off final this weekend. The Irishman has had a decent season and has scored plenty of goals, many from open play and he scored twice against this opposition when they last met and drew 2-2.

 

Our third Southend v Wycombe League Two final play-off betting tip is for Barry Corr to score anytime at 19/10 with 888Sport.
