Match announcement
Wycombe Wanderers
EnglandCurrent form
Wycombe are fighting for promotion in the First League. After 25 matches played, the team has 51 points and is in intermediate second place, which gives a direct ticket to the Championship. However, Wrexham, which is following them, has the same number of points and is only behind on additional indicators. In terms of current form, the hosts of today's game are far from all right - in the last two rounds there was a draw with Blackpool (1:1) and a defeat to Huddersfield (0:1). It should be noted that Wycombe has noticeably slowed down in home matches - only one victory at home in five previous matches, taking into account all tournaments.
Disqualifications and injuries
Wycombe have no tangible problems with their squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Wycombe have failed to win in the first half in three of their last four matches
- More than two goals have been scored in three of the team's previous five matches
Probable line-up: Ravizzoli; Skura, Hartridge, Bradley; McCleary, Butcher, Scowen, Harvey; Kodua; Lubala, Hanlon.
Portsmouth
EnglandCurrent form
Portsmouth play in the Championship, but have not had much success and are fighting for survival. Let us recall that last season Pompey won the First League, where they could well return. At the moment, after 26 rounds, the team occupies 21st place in the second most important division of the country and is separated from the relegation zone only by additional indicators. However, they have two games in reserve before their competitors. Portsmouth is a typical home team, as they scored 16 of their total 23 points at their arena. In the last round, they were unable to oppose Sunderland on the road - a 0:1 defeat.
Disqualifications and injuries
Farrell, Poole and Shaughnessy will be out today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Portsmouth have won in the first half in three of their last five matches
- More than two goals have been scored in four of Portsmouth's last five matches
Tentative lineup: Schmid; Williams, McIntyre, Atkinson, Ogilvie; Devlin, Moxon; Ritchie, Lane, Sorensen; Sidey.

10.00Tip and bets
Last season both teams played in the First League, and now the visitors represent the Championship, and the hosts have a good chance of entering it. In two face-to-face matches last season, Portsmouth achieved victories. Wycombe is currently far from the peak of form and hardly deserves the status of favorite, which bookmakers have assigned to the team. We think we should expect a largely equal game, in which Portsmouth is capable of at least not losing.
Our prediction is Portsmouth not to lose at odds of 1.60
Bet on total
Portsmouth play an open, attack-minded style of football. Four of the last five games involving the visitors have seen more than two goals scored. Wycombe are unlikely to lock themselves up in defence in the cup encounter at home.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on corners
At home, Wycombe will clearly try to play first number, to seize the initiative from the very start. We expect that the hosts will be able to win on corners.
Prediction - Wycombe win on corners with odds of 1.71
