Wycombe Form

Wycombe reached the 2024/25 FA Cup third round after beating York City 3-2 and Wealdstone

2-0. The Wealdstone triumph was followed by some inconsistent form and the Chairboys have won just three of their last 10.

Matt Bloomfield’s side are also winless in five of their last six at Adams Park, drawing three. The League One outfit have played their last three at home, beating Exeter 2-1 and drawing 1-1 with Blackpool.

The Chairboys couldn’t extend their unbeaten run and fell to a 1-0 loss against Huddersfield on Tuesday. Wycombe were wasteful with their 15 shots and were unable to reply to Huddersfield’s early opener.

Wycombe Injuries & Team News

Striker Sam Vokes and midfielder Kieran Sadlier are recovering from respective injuries and are unlikely to feature.

Defender Jasper Pattenden is unavailable for selection against Portsmouth due to injury.

Richard Kone has scored 16 goals in all competitions this season and is likely to start on Friday.

Portsmouth Form

Championship side Portsmouth will join the FA Cup in the third round this season. The South Coast outfit will enter the cup after some inconsistent form of two wins and four losses from six.

Both of Pompey’s recent victories came at Fratton Park, where they beat Coventry 4-1 and Swansea 4-0. They have lost four consecutive away games in between those victories and conceded 10 goals.

John Mousinho’s team dropped more away points at Sunderland after a 1-0 defeat at the Stadium of Light. Portsmouth faced 24 shots, had just 40% possession and conceded the winner after just seven minutes.

Portsmouth Injuries & Team News

Midfielder Marlon Pack was sent off during the Sunderland defeat and is suspended on Friday.

Defenders Regan Poole, Jacob Farrell, Conor Shaughnessy and Ibane Bowat are sidelined with injuries.

Striker Kusini Yengi and goalkeeper Will Norris will also miss out here due to injury.

Verdict

Wycombe v Portsmouth

Wycombe and Portsmouth are lacking consistency and can cancel each other out in the FA Cup. A close contest is expected and there is good value on a draw between the patchy sides.
