Portsmouth continue their push for the playoffs as they travel to Wycombe Wanderers in League One on Sunday. The visitors have been in good form and should have the upper hand over Wycombe, who have found things difficult, even at home.
Wycombe Wanderers are currently in the middle of a rough patch as they have claimed just one win from their last six matches. They are in the bottom half of the table and hold a healthy lead above the bottom four.
The Chairboys head into Sunday’s clash with two defeats in their last three matches across all competitions. Gareth Ainsworth’s men were beaten 1-0 by Cheltenham Town in their previous League One fixture.
Things have also been difficult for Wycombe Wanderers at home in recent weeks as they are winless in their last four matches at Adams Park. They have been beaten twice in that run and suffered a 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Walsall in their previous fixture in front of their fans.
In contrast to Wycombe Wanderers’ recent struggles, Portsmouth have been in good form lately. They are unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions, although their last four League One fixtures have ended in draws.
Despite being plagues by too many draws in the league, Portsmouth travel to Wycombe Wanderers off back-to-back Cup wins. First, they claimed a 2-0 victory over second placed Ipswich Town in the EFL Trophy before edging out MK Dons 3-2 in the FA Cup.
The victory over Ipswich Town highlights a fine record for Portsmouth on their recent travels. Danny Cowley’s men are unbeaten in their last four away matches across all competitions, claiming three wins in that run.
