Our 3 Predictions For Portsmouth Vs Wrexham
- First Prediction: Wrexham To Win – 19/10
- Second Prediction: Kieffer Moore To Score Anytime – 11/5
- Third Prediction: Both Teams To Score – 5/6
First Prediction For Portsmouth Vs Wrexham – Wrexham To Win – 19/10
Wrexham approaches tomorrow’s EFL Championship clash at Fratton Park with momentum, holding 15th place on 17 points from 4 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses after a 3-2 victory over Coventry City.
Portsmouth, languishing in 20th place with 13 points, having won 3, drawn 4, and lost 6, has endured a slump, including a 4-0 thrashing by Birmingham City on Saturday, which exposed defensive frailties with 18 goals conceded in 13 matches.
Wrexham‘s attack, spearheaded by Kieffer Moore, who has already scored 7 goals this term, and Josh Windass, who has 4, exploits their opponents on the transition, averaging 1.5 goals per game. Facing Portsmouth‘s 7 injury-hit squad and winless home streak in 4 outings, Wrexham will look to dominate, particularly via set pieces and counters, securing the stage for a tight win on the South Coast.
Second Prediction For Portsmouth Vs Wrexham – Kieffer Moore To Score Anytime – 11/5
Kieffer Moore targets Fratton Park as his next playground tomorrow, riding a red-hot streak, netting 7 goals in 13 EFL Championship starts so far with an xG of 0.57 per 90, including a perfect hat-trick of right foot, header and left foot in Friday’s 3-2 upset of leaders Coventry City. The 6ft 5in Welshman wins 5.2 aerial duels per match and converts 27% of his 11 shots on target.
Portsmouth arrive battered with an astonishing 8 senior absentees, 4 defenders and 18 goals conceded in 13 games. Their makeshift back-line ranks 22nd for headers won and has shipped 7 set-piece goals, which Wrexham will look to capitalise on.
Moore thrives on his movement in the 18-yard box with 4 of his 7 strikes arriving from corners or free-kicks, and faces a side yet to keep a clean sheet in 9 home league fixtures.
Backed by Josh Windass’s 5 assists in 7 games vs Pompey, and not to mention assisting all of Moore’s goals on Friday, Moore will bully the depleted centre-backs and look set to add to his tally once again.
Third Prediction For Portsmouth Vs Wrexham – Both Teams To Score – 5/6
Wrexham have scored in 12 of 13 EFL Championship games with 19 total, 1.46 pg, yet kept just 2 clean sheets, shipping 19 at 1.46 per game. Portsmouth have netted in 8 of 13 with 10 goals while conceding 18 avergaing at around 1.38 pg, there. have also been 0 shut-outs in 9 Fratton Park league fixtures.
Six of Wrexham’s last 8 and 4 of Pompey’s last 7 saw both teams to score have come in. With 8 senior absentees forcing Portsmouth into a rookie back-line and Kieffer Moore scoring 7 goals so far and dominating from set-pieces, expect Josh Murphy or Colby Bishop to punish Wrexham’s high line on the break, both look set to find the net.
