Wycombe vs Portsmouth prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 10, 2025
Wycombe
In the 1/32 round of the FA Cup, Wycombe will face Portsmouth. The match will take place on Friday, January 10, with a 20:45 CET kick-off. I suggest betting on the total goals of the game.
Match Preview
Wycombe has been performing excellently this season, aiming for promotion to the Championship. Five years ago, the team made its first-ever appearance in the second tier of English football, but they couldn’t stay there for long.
This season, in addition to progressing through the first two rounds of the FA Cup, the club is currently in second place in League One. Competing with Birmingham has been tough, and their main rivals for second place are Huddersfield and Wrexham.
Portsmouth had an excellent season in League One last year and earned their promotion. However, in the Championship, the team has struggled and is hovering just above the relegation zone.
Staying in the second tier will be their main objective this season, but they will also want to make some noise in the FA Cup.
Key Facts
- Wycombe has won only one of their last six home games.
- Portsmouth has lost their last four away matches.

Head-to-Head
In the last three encounters between these teams, the "both teams to score" bet has always been a successful one.
Prediction
Both teams are on a similar level and do not impress with their attacking play. Given this, I don’t expect the match to be high-scoring, and I’ll place a bet on the total goals to be under 3.
