Prediction: 2-0
Leyton Orient
Following a shocking loss to Cheltenham Town, Portsmouth will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they face Leyton Orient on Saturday afternoon. The Pompey defeated fellow promotion hopefuls Stevenage 2-1 in their last home game and the bookies see them as favourites to beat the O’s as well. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Leyton.
The visiting side, on the other hand, did well to beat Cambridge United 2-0 in their last league match, with the team climbing to the top half of the table. Portsmouth, though, are a real force to be reckoned with at home and we predict that the league leaders are going to prove their worth on the field. Richie Wellens is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Yellows in the opening match of the year.
Highlighted Team (Portsmouth):
During Milan Mandaric’s era at the club, Portsmouth played an important role in the Premier League, with the team finishing their debut season (2003/2004) in the 13th position in the standings. The club impressed in the 2008/2009 season, with Nwankwo Kanu’s goal helping them beat Cardiff City in the FA Cup final.
As a result, Portsmouth represented England in the Europa League, with the team progressing in the group stages of the competition thanks to a win over Vitoria Gimaraes in the final qualifying round. The current club was formed in 2013, but the original amateur club was founded back in 1883. Nowadays Portsmouth host their rivals at Fratton Park, with the venue holding up to 20,620 spectators.
The likes of Sol Campbell, David James, Glen Johnson and aforementioned Nigeria international Nwankwo Kanu are considered one of the club’s most notable players. Portsmouth wear blue shirts, white shorts and red socks when hosting their rivals at Fratton Park, while wearing white and blue colours when playing on the road.
