Our prediction for this match: Wolves 1 - 0 Portsmouth
Wolves vs Portsmouth Preview
Molineux will host a postponed Championship game as Wolves take on Portsmouth, with both sides looking to build on positive results at the weekend. Wolves came from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 despite the absence of Raul Jimenez, who remains sidelined. Tawanda Chirewa is pushing for a rare start after scoring off the bench, while Rodrigo Gomez, Boubacar Traore and Bertrand Traore are also unavailable through injury. The hosts have shown attacking promise on home soil, averaging 2.00 goals per home game, and will be keen to make that advantage count.
Portsmouth, meanwhile, edged Norwich City 1-0 and are targeting a third consecutive league victory. However, their squad remains stretched by injuries, with Keshi Anderson joining Shaughnessy, Arthur, Ogilvie, Brooke-Smith, Umeh and Swift in the treatment room. The visitors have been more reliable defensively away from home than their overall record suggests, conceding just 0.80 goals per away game. That resilience could make this a tighter contest than Wolves might hope for.
Wolves should have enough quality to take all three points, but Portsmouth’s recent momentum and away defensive record point towards a competitive encounter. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Wolves to win, Under 3.5 goals and Wolves to Score First.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday, 20 October 2026 at 19:45.
