Wolves vs Portsmouth prediction, odds and how to watch

West Ham United ended a run of winless Championship football with a commanding 4-2 home victory over Wolves, inspired by a dominant display from Divine Mukasa. The result was more convincing than the scoreline suggests.

Derby made their three shots on target count in a 2-0 win at Portsmouth, with Sammie Szmodics and substitute Lars-Jørgen Salvesen doing the damage against a Portsmouth side that mustered 21 shots but could not convert a single one.

Wolves were the better-organised side throughout, and a second-minute own goal followed by a header on the stroke of half-time gave them a cushion they never needed to surrender. The stats behind the result tell a clear story about structure and preparation.

Wolves welcome West Brom to Molineux in a Championship derby where early-season confidence meets a testing tactical examination, with both sides arriving in positive form but carrying very different structural profiles.

Charlton sit third in the early Championship table with a perfect record, but their home form over the last ten games tells a very different story. Portsmouth arrive at The Valley having won just one of their opening two league fixtures, yet the structure of this clash rewards closer inspection.

UEFA's refusal to move Liverpool's Champions League opener has forced Everton's Carabao Cup tie with Wolves back a week, with Merseyside Police's ban on simultaneous home fixtures triggering a chain reaction that also delays Wolves' Championship game until 20 October.
