Under 2.5 Goals
With five under 2.5 goals games on the spin, the Portsmouth vs Wycombe rivalry is surely starting to lose some of its well-known glamour. Sure, it’s the end of the season and the 22 on the pitch will finally enjoy a pressure-free game but we don’t think that alone will be enough for the game to end differently than our Portsmouth vs Wycombe predictions suggest.
Colby Bishop will have his work cut out for him as Wycombe’s backline is no joke. The visitors barely conceded 49 goals this season. In comparison, Plymouth Argyle, who are at the top of the table, conceded 46.
Draw
Our second Portsmouth vs Wycombe prediction is a continuation of the first. We feel that the difference between the two teams is negligible despite what the bookies say. They predict a somewhat effortless win for Pompey but we beg to differ.
There’s a complete stalemate in the head-to-head department. The last 10 showdowns between Portsmouth and Wycombe ended with four victories for Pompey, four for coach Matt Bloomfield’s side, and two draws. Another draw shouldn’t raise any eyebrows.

Portsmouth vs Wycombe Lineups & Team News
Portsmouth
Last week’s brawl involving Pompey was a match at Pride Park versus the Rams. The clash ended 1-1 and judging by the two teams’ display, perhaps sharing the points was the fairest outcome we could’ve seen. A bit of an unpleasant surprise for the home team’s manager is the fact that Pompey had more shots on target (6). If the players keep their high-flying display, our Portsmouth vs Wycombe predictions will surely succeed.
Predicted lineup – Macey (GK), Ogilvie, Tower, Bernard, Rafferty, Pack, Morrell, Jacobs, Pigott, Lane & Bishop
Wycombe
Only one point away from Pompey, Wycombe will do their very best to cause an upset on the 7th of May. Sure, the last couple of months haven’t been that generous to coach Matt Bloomfield’s boys but the team certainly performed well in the first part of the season. If there’s any of that famous Wycombe mojo from 2022 left, Portsmouth are in for a long and tiresome game at Fratton Park.
Predicted lineup – Cartwright (GK), McCarthy, Forino-Joseph, Tafazolli, Jacobson, Gape, Scowen, Hanlan, McCleary, Campbell & Vokes
Starting Lineups
*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to Watch: Colby Bishop
With Wycombe’s key left-back injured, Colby Bishop should have no issues sliding it past the visitors’ goalkeeper this week. The Jordan Obita-shaped hole at the back will give Bishop plenty of decent goalscoring chances and we’re sure that he’d like to bump his League One numbers up to an even 20.
With 19 goals and three assists this season, Colby Bishop took part in 1/3 of Pompey’s goals. Coach John Mousinho would be a fool not to start with Colby leading the charge.
