Wycombe Wanderers 3:1 Portsmouth — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Wycombe Wanderers cruised to a comfortable 3-1 friendly victory over Portsmouth, with the standout performer being Márk Kosznovszky for the losing side, and the result sets up Wycombe's next pre-season outing against Yeovil Town on the 25th of July. It was a one-sided affair from the first whistle, the Chairboys racing into a second-minute lead through Ewan Henderson and never looking back.

The match was effectively settled inside the opening two minutes when Henderson fired Wycombe ahead, and any hopes of a Portsmouth revival were extinguished when Cauley Woodrow doubled the lead immediately after the interval in the 46th minute. A third Wycombe goal arrived in the 73rd minute to put the result beyond any doubt, with the visitors unable to respond despite even possession across the ninety.

The statistics tell a tale of total control: Wycombe had three corners to Portsmouth's one, and possession was dead level at 50% each, but the home side's clinical edge proved decisive. Márk Kosznovszky earned a 6.52 rating for Portsmouth but could not influence the scoreline as his side were outplayed on the day. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Wycombe Wanderers, and the result confirmed that prediction. Wycombe now face Yeovil Town on July 25th.
