Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Coventry
Portsmouth play host to Coventry City at their Fratton Park on day 22 of the new Championship campaign. The Pompey will try to recover from a massive 4-0 loss to Derby County, but they will have yet another big fish to fry against Coventry. Portsmouth’s injury list remains pretty long, including the likes of Bowat, Farrell, Norris, O’Mahony. Williams, Yengi, and Shaughnessy.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Hull City. Coventry City want to keep on climbing the standings and we predict that they are going to take advantage of Portsmouth’s shaky defence. In their last meeting in a competitive match Coventry defeated Portsmouth 1-0, with Matthew Godden scoring the only goal of the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but all Borges Rodrigues, Wilson, and Wright remain in the treatment room.
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.
