Prediction: 2-1
Portsmouth
Thursday’s football game at Vicarage Road pits together Watford and Portsmouth, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2024/2025 Championship campaign. The Hornets aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Burnley and a win over Portsmouth could see them climb to the playoffs berth. Chile defender Francisco Sierralta is pushing for a start, while Nigeria midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Pompey, on the other hand, are determined to secure the Championship survival. Portsmouth footballers are brimming with confidence following a 4-1 win over Coventry City, but given their poor away record (1-4-5), we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing hosts this time out. In their last meeting at the venue, back in 2011, Watford recorded a 2-0 win over Portsmouth, who will rely on Callum Lang in the Boxing Day clash as the 26-year-old scored four goals at the weekend.
