Gillingham are set to face Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Trophy, with manager Gareth Ainsworth coming up against his former club. The Gills are currently sitting in second place in their group, with Wycombe level on points in third position. Gillingham have won seven, drawn four and lost four of their 15 league matches this season, and are looking to keep hold of second place in their EFL Trophy group. Ainsworth's side picked up a narrow 1-0 away victory over Bristol Rovers in their last match, with Max Clark scoring in the opening stages of the second period. Wycombe boss Michael Duff has won seven, drawn three and lost one of his 11 competitive matches in charge since taking over in September. The Chairboys avoided another cup exit in their home meeting with Plymouth Argyle, claiming a 2-0 victory to advance to the FA Cup second round. Gillingham are likely to be without Glenn Morris and Conor Masterson, while Armani Little is a doubt after missing the win over Bristol Rovers. Former Wycombe attackers Garath McCleary and Sam Vokes are both options to start the final group game. Wycombe midfielder Josh Scowen is back out on the grass, although he still has some way to go in his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The Chairboys are also expected to be without Niall Huggins, Taylor Allen, George Abbott and Josh Scowen. Gillingham's EFL Trophy form has been mixed, with a 4-1 win over Fulham Under-21s followed by a 2-1 defeat to Colchester United. Wycombe's form in the competition has also been inconsistent, with a 3-1 victory against Fulham Under-21s following a defeat to Colchester United. The visitors know that they must claim their first away win over Gillingham since February 2013, or draw with a penalty-shootout win, if they are to secure a top-two spot. Gillingham's League Two standings show the club in sixth place, with 25 points from 15 matches. The Gills have a small goal difference advantage over Wycombe, but still have work to do if they are to secure a place in the knockout rounds for the first time since 2020-21. Ainsworth may have a strong connection to Wycombe, but there will be no time for pleasantries on Tuesday, with his team looking to progress in the competition. The match is set to be a closely contested affair, with both teams looking to secure a vital win. Gillingham's fans will be hoping for a repeat of their recent away win, while Wycombe will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Leyton Orient. The stage is set for an exciting encounter between two teams with a lot to play for.
