- Competition: FA Cup
- Date: Friday, 10th January 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Adams Park (High Wycombe)
After a few solid seasons in League One, Wycombe seems ready to fight for a place in the Championship. They are second on the table in the third level of English football, with only two points behind Birmingham. However, Wycombe's form slowed down lately as they won only three of the last ten matches. In the previous game, they lost 1-0 at home against Huddersfield. The home side had 60% ball possession and ten shots on the goal more than the opponent, but guests found a way to take home all three points.
After 13 seasons, Portsmouth returned to the Championship, but they are again too close to the relegation zone and could easily play in League One next year. Portsmouth are only one position above the relegation zone. Portsmouth lost three of the last four matches. In the previous game, they lost 1-0 on the road against Sunderland. The home side probably deserved an even easier victory as they finished with an xG of 1.98, while the guests had only 0.36.
Wycombe vs Portsmouth pick: Under 2.5 goals
Wycombe scored only four goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Portsmouth scored only four goals in the previous three games. We should expect a low-scoring tie on Friday at Adams Park.

Wycombe team news
Wycombe could have a full squad for the upcoming FA Cup game against Portsmouth. Defender Alex Hartridge missed the previous League One round due to suspension but will be available for Friday. Hartridge played in only six league matches this season, and we shouldn't expect him to start.
