Portsmouth vs Scunthorpe United
In the middle of this week Portsmouth will set aside time to appear in the quarter-finals of the EFL Trophy. They will face Scunthorpe Utd last season who both fought in League One competition. The clash opened at Fratton Park.
The host received an invitation from Bolton Wanderers in the 27th week last Saturday (1/18). They also won with a score of 0-1 through the efforts of Christian Burgess (42 ‘). In fact, this is the fourth successive victory this month since meeting Fleetwood (1-2), Walsall (1-2), and AFC Wimbledon (2-1) in various local competitions.
Meanwhile, Scunthorpe Utd’s performance was inconsistent with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. The amount was received after falling from Newport (1-2), then playing a series with Bradford (2-2) in League Two competition. These results also make their rankings continue to fall, now in the order of 14 standings.
Therefore, a trip to Fratton Park this week was considered a bad time. Reflecting on the previous season, Scunthorpe Utd lost twice to Portsmouth with a score of 1-2 and 2-0. With graphs that are not yet stable, it is likely they will reap the same results against a host who is so consistent.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.80
