Our prediction for this Championship match:
After shocking league leaders Leeds United at the weekend, Portsmouth will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Plymouth on Matchday 37. The Pompey are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home and they must be high on confidence ahead of Wednesday’s clash. Midfielder Adil Aouchiche is a major doubt after limping off with injury against the Whites, with Terry Devlin being ready to step up.
The Pilgrims, on the other hand, produced an under-par performance in a 3-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday and given their poor away record in the 2024/2025 Championship campaign, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Both Brendan Galloway and Muhamed Tijani are sidelined with injuries, while Adam Randell will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting at Fratton Park, the two teams played out a 2-2 draw and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards.
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.
