Prediction: 0-0
Sheffield Wednesday
Portsmouth will look to recover from a 2-0 loss to Cardiff City when they take on Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship round 12. The Pompey are desperate to record their first home win of the process and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Home win, though, should not be considered as Portsmouth are high by injuries. All Will Norris, Ibane Bowat, Conor Shaughnessy, Jacob Farrell, and Colby Bishop miss out with injuries, while the likes of Jordan Williams, Paddy Lane, and Roman Schmid are rated doubtful.
The Owls, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Swansea City at the weekend. As Sheffield Wednesday have been struggling in front of goal of late, a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Fratton Park. Both Nathaniel Chalobah and Ben Hamer are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while centre-back Michael Ihiekwe is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Josh Windass):
Born in Hull, England on January 9, 1994, John Windass is a professional footballer who plays for Wigan Athletic. Windass is a product of Huddersfield Town youth academy, but he did not play for the Terriers at senior level.
The 175-cm-tall midfielder began his senior career at Accrington Stanley and after scoring 22 goals in 77 appearances in the league for the club, he moved to Glasgow Rangers in the summer of 2016. Two years later Josh Windass joined Wigan Athletic and he has been playing for the DW Stadium outfit ever since. He scored his first Championship goal on September 18, 2018 in a 2-1 win over Hull City.
His main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as both central midfielder and second striker as well. It has to be noted that Josh is the son of former footballer Dean Windass, who played for the likes of Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Bradford City during his professional career.
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.
