Prediction: 2-1
Oxford United
Portsmouth play host to Oxford United at their Fratton Park in what is expected to be an entertaining League One game. The Pompey have turned their stadium into a real fortress, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground. Australia forward Kusini Yengi is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the last league match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Yellows, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Leyton Orient, with the team dropping out of the playoffs berth. Oxford United are eager to regain their spot in top six, but given Portsmouth’s excellent winning run at home ground, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of grabbing something from the match. Fit-again midfielder Marcus McGuane is widely expected to return to Oxford United’s starting XI.
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.
