Wycombe Wanderers vs Portsmouth Prediction and Betting Tips | January 10th 2025

Wycombe Wanderers will face Portsmouth at Adams Park on Friday in the third round of the 2024-25 FA Cup. The home side have enjoyed a brilliant campaign overall, despite their struggles in the past few weeks, with the domestic cup this weekend presenting an opportunity for the Chairboys to turn a corner.

They kicked off their FA Cup campaign with a narrow 3-2 victory over National League side York City in early November. They were then drawn against Wealdstone in the second round and won 2-0 with Beryly Lubala scoring a stunning opener before Richard Kone came off the bench to seal the win late in the game.

Portsmouth are currently fighting for survival in the English Championship and will now hope they can find solace elsewhere this weekend. They suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Chesterfield in their FA Cup opener last season and will be targeting victory this time around.

Pompey last advanced past this stage of the domestic cup in the 2019-20 campaign beating Fleetwood Town 2-1 on the road en route to their last-16 finish.
