Prediction: 2-0
Shrewsbury
Portsmouth will be aiming to retain top position in the standings when they take on Shrewsbury Town at their Fratton Park. The Pompey have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Midfielder Owen Moxon is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 2-2 draw with Derby County, while Tom Lowery remains doubtful. All Lang, Dockerill, Devlin, Poole, Morrell, McIntyre, Scully, and Robertson continue to miss out with injuries.
The Shrews, on the other hand, head into Saturday’s clash following back-to-back draws with Oxford United and Bristol Rovers. As the visitors have little to play for in the season finale, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Hampshire.
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.
