Portsmouth vs Cheltenham Lineups and Last Match
Portsmouth
Portsmouth had to show character before eventually achieving a 1-0 home win vs Exeter on Tuesday night. This was the third consecutive win for Pompey and they are yet to lose this season.
Portsmouth remain very compact defensively and they will seek a third consecutive clean sheet in the coming match.
The options in midfield are somewhat limited with both Lowery and Dockerill ruled out for the rest of the season. In better news, Paddy Lane has recovered from an injury and he is expected to make the group.
Predicted Lineup – Norris (GK), Rafferty, Poole, Shaughnessy, Ogilvie, Pack, Morrell, Whyte, Robertson, Scully & Bishop
Cheltenham
Cheltenham are yet to earn any points or score a goal this season. The Seagulls suffered their third straight league defeat on Tuesday when being edged 0-1 away from home by Reading.
So far, the forward actions have been very discouraging. Cheltenham registered 5 shots on target in the 4 official matches played so far combined.
Luck hasn’t been with Cheltenham so far either. In just 3 rounds they already lost 3 key players due to serious injuries. All of Bonds, Olayinka and Lloyd will be bitterly missed in the coming months. It’s hard to replace one of them let alone all 3. Keena will have to step up in attack now Lloyd is set for a long spell of absence.
Predicted Lineup – Southwood (GK), Long, Davies, Freestone, Smith, Chapman, Sercombe, Hammond, Ferry, Keena & Street
Starting Lineups
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Regan Poole
Pompey’s influential centre-back Regan Poole will be a crucial figure once more in the coming match as Portsmouth seek a third consecutive clean sheet. Poole has made a great start to the season and he leads the league in successful tackles, percentage of aerial duels won, intercepted crosses and passing accuracy.
We back Poole to have another excellent showing in this match.
