Wrexham
- Wrexham are 7th in the Championship with 48 points from 32 games.
- Wrexham have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five - a disappointing run that started with a 0-2 home defeat to Millwall and included a 2-2 draw away at Bristol City.
Portsmouth
- Pompey are 20th with 36 points from 31.

- Pompey have a poor away record in this competition with 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses.
Head-to-Head
The 0-0 draw the sides recorded in the return fixture three months ago suggests another close matchup could be on the cards.
Key Players
- The Reds have a goal-scoring threat up top in Kieffer Moore, who has 10 in 29 Championship appearances this season.
- Adrian Segecic, with five in 25, is their top scorer and will have to take the majority of their goals on Tuesday.
Betting Insights
- The gap in the league standings suggests that the home side, priced at 1.96, should be a lot shorter than the Pompey 3.8.
- Pompey have conceded 24 goals in 15 away fixtures - an average of 1.60 per game.
- The Over 2.5 goals market is set at 2.0 and offers a bit of value if one side’s defensive weakness is exposed in this fixture.
Prediction
Wrexham, who will be the more confident of the two clubs based on their higher standing in the Championship and the fact they will have the home advantage , can edge a close game with the odds available in their favour.
