Prediction: 2-0
Cambridge United
Portsmouth and Cambridge United square off against each other at Fratton Park in a highly-anticipated League One game. The Pompey aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Wigan and MK Dons, and seeing that they are a real force to be reckoned with at home, it is no wonder the bookies see them as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be John Marquis, who is eager to put an end to his goalless run.
The U’s, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Cambridge United, and given Portsmouth’s fine home record, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. In their last meeting at Fratton Park Portsmouth defeated Cambridge United 2-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
