Wycombe and Portsmouth battle for three points in a League One round 41 clash on Friday (March 29).
The hosts are coming off a routine 2-0 victory over Northampton at the same venue a fortnight ago. Matt Butcher scored a second-half brace to guide the Chairboys to all three oints.
Portsmouth, meanwhile, have not been in action since a 1-0 win at Peterborough before the international break. Kusini Yengi's 77th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The win helped Pompey remain atop the summit with 83 points from 39 games and a game in hand. Wycombe, meanwhile, are 13th with 50 points after 38 games.
