Portsmouth confront Exeter City for honour and victory.
It's no vacation for neither Portsmouth nor Exeter City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Portsmouth form and stats
A League One draw at home so far for Portsmouth. Last season their home statistics were 9 wins, 11 draws and 3 defeats from 23 matches.
Happy days for Portsmouth in their previous game, a fixture away at Leyton Orient (placed 22nd) that ended with a 4-0 victory. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Portsmouth played a great game against Leyton Orient and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. The hosts have an in-form goalscorer in Yengi, having found the net in three matches in a row.
In the game before, a nice away win at Forest Green Rovers. A Carabao Cup game. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Portsmouth have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 4 and lost 4.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Portsmouth as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Cheltenham Town are visiting.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Portsmouth at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Exeter City form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the League One, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 5 wins, 6 draws and 12 defeats from 23 matches.
Exeter have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Viljani Sinisalo. It's been 180 minutes since they last conceded in League One.
Exeter City delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Blackpool (placed 8th) in their previous fixture.
A home victory as anticipated against Crawley Town before that, in the Carabao Cup. We have checked recent matches where Exeter City have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 7 games were 1 victory, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Carlisle United.
Exeter City have the goal stats of 3-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
