Prediction: 1-0
Luton
Fratton Park will be packed when Portsmouth take on Luton Town in the Championship round 2. The Pompey aim to recover from the EFL Cup loss to Millwall and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field this time out. Callum Lang, who scored a brace in a 3-3 draw with Leeds United, should be recalled to the starting XI, while the likes of Regan Poole, Jacob Farrell, and Tom McIntyre remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Hatters, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Burnley. In their last meeting at Fratton Park, back in 2018, Portsmouth defeated Luton 1-0 and given the Hatters’ shaky defence, we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Veteran Andros Townsend could sneak into the starting XI, while the likes of Jacob Brown, Reece Burke, Mads Juel Andersen, and Marvelous Nakamba continue to miss out with injuries.
