Wycombe Wanderers’ FA Cup third round opponents have been confirmed.
The Chairboys, who are making their first appearance at this stage of the competition in four years, will play at home to 2008 winners and former League One rivals, Portsmouth.
At the time of writing, Matt Bloomfield’s team are top of the third tier, whilst John Mousinho’s Pompey are currently bottom of the Championship – meaning there is just one place between the two clubs in the football pyramid.
The fixture will take place the weekend of January 11/12.
Overall, the two teams have played each other 20 times since their first-ever encounter back in October 2012, with Wanderers winning on five occasions, Portsmouth eight, and there being seven draws.
In the FA Cup, there has only been one previous match – a 2016/17 first round tie at Fratton Park, which Wycombe 2-1.
Paris Cowan-Hall and Adebayo Akinfenwa got the goals, in the Chairboys’ second and most recent win on the South Coast.
Ticket details will be out in due course.
