Match Preview, Portsmouth vs Exeter Lineups, and Team News

Portsmouth

Once a Premier League club with a big budget, Portsmouth is now in the third tier league, but with some confidence that they could bounce back this season and fight for promotion to the Championship.

Expected lineup: Norris, Rafferty, Poole, Shaughnessy, Ogilvie, Saydee, Pack, Morrell, Whyte, Bishop, Kamara.

Exeter

The visiting team surprised their fans with a couple of victories to start the season, firstly in a league encounter against Wycombe and later defeating Crawley in the EFL Cup opening round.

Expected lineup: Sinisalo, Hartridge, Aimson, Sweeney, Mitchell, Carroll, Trevitt, Rankine, Cole, Nombe, Aitchison.

Player to Watch: Tom Carroll

The versatile midfielder has been a positive addition to Exeter City's team this summer especially after he was without a club for a year. That didn't stop Exeter's management to give him a chance and he didn't disappoint at the start of the campaign. Carroll was a young talent who rose from Tottenham's academy over a decade ago and was a member of the senior squad for some time, but he was also sent on loan multiple times. He played across England and Wales.

He left Tottenham in 2017 to join Swansea in a big-money move, but didn't manage to make himself a relevant figure at the club. He is not a scorer having gotten on the scoresheet only ten times in 279 career appearances. Carroll is more of a creator and a disciplined figure in the midfield area of the field.

Starting lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
