Wolverhampton - Portsmouth

Wolverhampton Wanderers return to Molineux Stadium on 20 October 2026 for this Championship fixture against Portsmouth, looking to build on their recent 2-1 victory over Burnley. Their campaign has been marked by inconsistency, swinging between narrow wins and defeats, including a 1-3 setback against Bolton Wanderers earlier in the month. Portsmouth arrive in a more settled rhythm, having secured back-to-back victories against Norwich City and Sheffield United. Their recent form suggests a side finding its feet, recovering well from a narrow loss to Southampton to climb the table with momentum.

The expected XI for Wolverhampton Wanderers features Sean Neave and Rafiki Said in attack, while Portsmouth are expected to rely on the experience of Marlon Pack in midfield. These two sides last met in the Premier League on 1 May 2010, when Portsmouth claimed a 3-1 win. As they renew acquaintances in the Championship, both teams face the challenge of maintaining their recent tactical discipline to secure points in a competitive division.
