Portsmouth vs Wrexham Prediction and Betting Tips | November 5th 2025

Portsmouth will host Wrexham at Fratton Park on Wednesday in the 14th round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be desperate to put an end to their poor form and push higher up the league table after what has been a difficult first quarter of their season.

Portsmouth put up a shambolic performance as they were battered 4-0 by newly promoted Birmingham City during the weekend, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. Pompey finished last season five places clear of the drop zone, but are currently only four points clear of the bottom three, having only won three league games all season, and will need to turn things around soon to avoid being in the relegation battle so early in the season.

Wrexham, on the other hand, will go into this midweek's fixture in high spirits after handing league leaders Coventry City their first loss of the season in a thrilling 3-2 home win on Friday, and have now lost only two of their last eight games across all competitions. The newly promoted side sit only five points behind the top six with four wins and five draws from 13 games played, and could move as high as fifth place should they get a win on Wednesday.
