Following back-to-back losses to Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town, Portsmouth will look to return to winning ways when they take on Waterford on Matchday 8. The Pompey suffered a dip in form, but it seems as if their displays are much better than the results. Both John Swift and Marlon Pack are in line for recalls to the starting XI, while the likes of Umeh, Waddingham, Schmid, Lang, and Blair remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Hornets, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Hull City and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their four-match winless run. Watford, though, are not regarded as good travellers and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. The likes of Grieves, Selvik, and Chakvetadze are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
This Championship match will be played on Wednesday 1 October 2025 at 19:45.
