Our prediction for this Championship match:
Swansea City will be looking to build on a 2-1 win over Derby County when they welcome Portsmouth to their Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Swans quickly bounced back from a 4-3 loss to Leeds United, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and they are seen as favourites to beat Portsmouth as well. Harry Darling limped off with injury in the midweek triumph, with Cyrus Christie being ready to step up.
The Pompey, on the other hand, desperately needed a home win against Preston and they managed to get one. Portsmouth, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the South Wales outfit. The likes of Bowat, Norris, Shaughnessy, Swanson, and Williams miss out with injuries for the visiting team, while fit-again forward Colby Bishop should start from the bench.
Highlighted Team (Swansea):
