Portsmouth will be hoping to halt their worrying slide down the Championship table when they welcome Wrexham to Fratton Park on Wednesday evening. John Mousinho’s side have endured a difficult run of form, leaving them hovering just above the relegation zone after 13 league matches.
Pompey currently sit 20th in the standings with three wins, four draws and six defeats, and have tasted victory just once in their last nine outings. Since a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough at the start of October, they have taken only one point from four matches — a sequence that includes a 1-1 draw with Leicester City followed by consecutive home losses to Coventry City and Stoke City.
Their most recent outing brought the club’s heaviest defeat of the campaign, as they were swept aside 4-0 by Birmingham City at St Andrew’s. Defensive frailties were again on show, with three goals conceded after the break, but it is in attack where Portsmouth’s biggest issues persist.
Visitors Wrexham arrive on the south coast in mid-table, having adapted reasonably well to life back in the second tier. Phil Parkinson’s side have collected 17 points from their first 13 matches, and head into this contest buoyed by an excellent 3-1 home victory over league leaders Coventry City on Friday night.
Wales international Kieffer Moore was the star of the show, netting his first Championship hat-trick to hand the Sky Blues their first defeat of the season.
The Red Dragons have now lost just one of their last eight league matches (W3 D4) but are yet to record back-to-back wins in this campaign. They’ll be aiming to change that here, though they haven’t won away from home since beating Norwich 3-2 in September.
Encouragingly, Wrexham have scored in 12 of their 13 league games, suggesting they can pose a threat even on their travels.
The Betting Verdict
Wrexham’s attacking edge contrasts sharply with Portsmouth’s struggles in front of goal, and the visitors look capable of taking something from this clash.
The Pick :
Portsmouth 1-2 Wrexham
