📈 Portsmouth v Wrexham Form & Tactics
Portsmouth have now lost three games in a row, the first time that this has happened in the league since last September. This is fairly symbolic because that run in early August and September 2024 left Portsmouth bottom, but the board actually showed faith in John Mousinho, awarded him with a new contract, and that seemed like genuine foresight as Mousinho went on to lead the team to a very safe midtable finish.
The springboard into this season has not materialised though. Portsmouth are really struggling going forwards, they are scoring at less than a goal a game, they are ranked 19th for xG created, but 23rd for shots on target, 22nd for big chances created, and 19th for touches in the opposition box.
The win on Friday night means that it is now only one defeat in eight Championship matches for Phil Parkinson’s men. It was also the first time in four matches that they have created over 1 xG in a single match, which is an indication of how much things have changed since the beginning of the season, where Wrexham scored quite a lot of goals, but also conceded much as well.
Indeed, the stats are still a little bit concerning from a defensive perspective, 21st in xG against, but this is steadily improving as the season goes on. There are still also positives from the attacking data, Wrexham are top six over the season for big chances created, and seventh for shots on target.
📔 Portsmouth v Wrexham Formation & Team News
Portsmouth play a 4-2-3-1 more often than not, but it has been the #9 position to lead the line that has been a tough one for them to get a return from this season. Colby Bishop looked all set for a big season after coming back from a serious health condition and helping to transform the team, but he has been replaced by Makenzie Kirk without much change to the output. Pompey play a direct game, they have the fourth highest successful direct pass rates in the league.
Connor Ogilvie looks set to return to the team for this match, and Bishop could also return to the starting XI as well. Many long term absentees are still on the treatment table for Portsmouth, and Mousinho will be hoping to be able to call on them shortly.
Wrexham are unlikely to change anything from their starting XI against Coventry. They expertly played the 3-5-2 formation, with the back three of Max Cleworth, Dom Hyam, and Dan Scarr, has blended well together, whilst the midfield has a lot of drive and energy. Wing-backs Issa Kabore and Liberato Cacace provide the width for Josh Windass and Kieffer Moore to thrive upon.
