Portsmouth have taken just one point from the last 12 available
Wrexham have lost just one of their last six away matches across all competitions
Recommended bet: Wrexham to win
Struggling Portsmouth will be looking to avoid a fourth defeat on the bounce when they welcome Wrexham to Fratton Park in the Championship on Wednesday.
It is just one win in nine for John Mousinho's side, who suffered back-to-back home losses to Coventry and Stoke before being thumped 4-0 at Birmingham on Saturday.
That poor run leaves Pompey just two places above the relegation zone heading into the midweek action and four points worse off than 15th-placed Wrexham, who have lost just one of their last eight matches in the second tier.

Team news
Mousinho has confirmed left-back Connor Ogilvie is available for this game after sitting out the heavy defeat at Birmingham, but Nicolas Schmid, Adrian Segecic and Callum Lang will not return until after the international break.
Conor Shaughnessy, Jacob Farrell, Harvey Blair and Franco Umeh are among Pompey's long-term absentees.
Wrexham's treatment room is also busy, with Danny Ward, Harry Ashfield, Aaron James, Jay Rodriguez, Elliot Lee and Lewis Brunt all on the sidelines.
After scoring a hat-trick in Friday's 3-2 win over table-toppers Coventry, forward Kieffer Moore should once again lead the line.

The stats
Portsmouth have won just once in the league since August — a 1-0 home success over Middlesbrough at the start of October.
Pompey have lost three matches on the bounce, conceding seven goals during that run and scoring just once.
Heading into the midweek action, Portsmouth have scored just 10 goals in 13 matches, the joint-lowest total in the division alongside 22nd-placed Sheffield United and rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday.
Wrexham's only defeat across their last eight league matches was last month's 1-0 reverse at Stoke, although they have gone three games without a win on the road.
Phil Parkinson's side have not won back-to-back league matches since returning to the Championship and last achieved that feat in the second tier in March 1982.
This will be the first meeting between these sides in any competition since a League Cup second-round tie in 1986 — Portsmouth won both legs to progress 4-1 on aggregate.

Prediction
Pompey's form has nosedived over the autumn, as they have picked up just six points from their last nine matches to slip down the standings.
By contrast, Wrexham have been finding their feet in the second tier and if their run of one defeat in eight league matches was not enough of a sign that they belong at this level, then ending Coventry's unbeaten league start on Friday certainly was.
The Red Dragons have already won at Millwall and Norwich this season, while draws at Leicester and most recently Middlesbrough show they can mix it with the best on their travels, so they will fancy their chances of returning from Fratton Park with the spoils.
