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.
Four changes as Pompey face Wolves
Ebou Adams was reinstated in Portsmouth's starting XI for the Championship match at Molineux, replacing rested captain Marlon Pack. Tyrese Shade led the line, with Terry Devlin and Rocco Shein also returning. Zak Swanson, Ryan Kavuma‑McQueen and Marko Milovanović were omitted, joining Pack on the bench.
