Pompey Draw 1-1 with Wolves at Molineux
Pompey secured their seventh point from three Championship matches after coming from behind to share spoils with Wolves. Jordan James put the visitors ahead early in the second half following a goalless first period. Wolves responded late on when Terry Devlin struck a volley from the edge of the box into the bottom corner to level the score. Both sides created few clear-cut chances throughout the encounter.
Pompey aim for third straight win at Wolves
Portsmouth travel to Molineux for the evening kick-off, seeking a third consecutive Championship victory, a feat not achieved since April. John Mousinho's side arrive after wins over Sheffield United and Norwich, while Wolves, former Premier League club, sit in the final play-off spot after a 2-1 comeback win at Burnley. Wolves are missing several injured players, including Rodrigo Gomes and Raúl Jiménez, though Adam Armstrong may be available. Pompey also contend with a growing injury list, most recently adding Colby Bishop after a knee problem in a warm-up.
