Preston North End vs Wycombe Wanderers Prediction and Betting Tips | February 8th 2025

Preston North End will host Wycombe Wanderers at Deepdale on Saturday in round four of the 2024-25 FA Cup campaign. The home side have performed well in their league duties of late but will break from that this weekend as they turn their attention to cup action.

They faced Charlton Athletic in their cup opener last month and won 2-1, with Milutin Osmajic scoring a goal in either half to secure the win for Paul Heckingbottom's side. The Invincibles last advanced past this stage of the FA Cup back in the 2014-15 campaign, beating Sheffield United in a cup replay before going on to lose to Manchester United in the next round.

Wycombe Wanderers, meanwhile, saw off York and Wealdstone in the first two rounds of the cup competition last year. They then traded tackles with Portsmouth in the third round and picked up an impressive 2-0 win over Pompey featuring first-half strikes from Brandon Hanlan and veteran defender Sonny Bradley.

The visitors are set to make their first FA Cup round-four appearance since the 2020-21 campaign this weekend and will be looking to test their mettle against an established Championship side.
