History of the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Portsmouth fixture

Wolves play host to Portsmouth at Molineux on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Wolves are clearly on top, having won 24 and lost only 6 of the 44 games.

The last time the two teams met at Wolves was back in August 2003, over five years ago, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
