Prediction: 1-1
Peterborough
A spot in the EFL Cup round 3 will be at stake when Portsmouth and Peterborough lock horns at Fratton Park on Tuesday evening. The Pompey are eager to return to the Championship, but they have big ambitions for the 2023/2024 League Cup campaign as well. Portsmouth defender Joe Rafferty is banned for the match following his sending-off in a goalless draw with Stevenage at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Posh aim to recover from a heavy 4-2 loss to Derby County. Considering that both Portsmouth and Peterborough will go for a win in the midweek clash, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Jamaica forward Jonson Clarke-Harris, who scored his second goal of the season against the Rams. In their last encounter in the English third tier Peterborough defeated Portsmouth 2-1.
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.
