Command Analysis
Portsmouth
EnglandCurrent form
Portsmouth won League 1 last season and deservedly earned promotion to the Championship. The hosts are not planning to return to the third division, but are currently in penultimate place. The club is two points behind the safe zone and has played fewer matches than its competitors. The team last home matches have been quite good - they managed to beat Bristol City (3:0) and Coventry City (4:1), and also draw with Norwich (0:0). However, the club has not been so successful in its last away matches. The last two rounds ended for John Mousinho charges with defeats to Watford (1:2) and the same Bristol City (0:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have a number of injured players, with Harvey Blair, Ibane Bowat, Mark O'Mahony, Regan Poole, Conor Shaughnessy, Jordan Williams and Kusini Yengi all set to miss out.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last five matches.
- The club ended the calendar year with two defeats in a row
Tentative lineup: Schmidt - Ogilvy, Towler, Park, Swanson - Potts, Dozzell - Ritchie, Long, Murphy - Bishop
Swansea City
WalesCurrent form
Swansea are having a good season and can even fight for a place in the playoff zone. The team currently ranks ninth in the league table, but is only four points behind the top 6. In December, Swansea managed to win against Plymouth (2:1) and Queens Park Rangers (3:0), but performed poorly in matches with Sunderland (2:3) and Hull City (1:2). In the last match of the year, the Welsh team managed to win a strong-willed victory over Luton (2:1), which brought the Swans closer to the top six.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors will miss the match with Oliver Cooper and Josh Ginnelly.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the last five matches of the visitors ended in a draw
- The team ended the calendar year with two victories in a row
Estimated lineup: Vigoro - Tymon, Darling, Kabango, Ki - Grimes, Franco - Em, Cullen, Ronald - Bianchini

2.22Tip and bets
The hosts are currently at the bottom of the table, but have not played their match in this round yet, so a win will help the club get out of the danger zone. Pompey will be extremely motivated for the upcoming match, so the confrontation will be tough for the visitors. Portsmouth plays excellent home matches and is unlikely to lose to Swansea on their home field.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Portsmouth for 2.18
Bet on total
Swansea defense is not very reliable, so the hosts will have every chance to score two goals or more. At the same time, the visitors will clearly not sit in defense and are quite capable of responding with a goal of their own. We believe that this match will be productive.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.92
Bet on corners
Most likely, in this match the opponents will attack a lot, so the total for corners will certainly be exceeded.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 1.90
