Top Portsmouth vs Exeter City betting predictions and tips for League One

Being a far more decorated team, Portsmouth are the obvious candidates for the three points but the players should be careful as Exeter City have the momentum.

Portsmouth to win

Seeing as this game will be held at Fratton Park, we can’t help but make our first Portsmouth vs Exeter City prediction oriented toward a solid home-field performance. After all, Pompey rarely loses at home and when they do, it’s a nail-biting action to the very last minute. Yes, Exeter City have momentum with two victories and two draws over the last four league games but the head-to-head advantage is slightly in Portsmouth’s favor as four of the last 10 games ended with victories for them, three were won by Exeter City, and the remaining three games all ended in draws.

Under 2.5 goals

As important as this clash will be in determining which team will be the promotion fight side, we can’t help but notice that this rivalry is notoriously known for being a lackluster event. With only three of the last 10 games ending with more than three goals, how else can you describe it? Yes, there are some top-notch strikers in both camps but they’ll efforts will amount to nothing as neither manager will risk losing the game.

Colby Bishop to score

This will be a big game for Colby Bishop as he’ll have to prove to the critics that he’s the best striker on the pitch. It will be a difficult task as Exeter City’s Sam Nombe and Jevani Brown seem equally sharp but we still fancy Colby Bishop’s odds to score on Saturday. After all, he did find the net on 10 occasions in the 2022/23 campaign so far and he’ll enjoy solid home-field support which is always nice to have.

Portsmouth vs Exeter City: match preview & news

Here is our brief but important match preview for Portsmouth vs Exeter City.

Portsmouth

Pompey are currently in 15th place and while that sounds bad the point difference with the top teams is not that huge. With no victories in the last five league games, it’s about time Portsmouth start bringing in points and we’re certain that that’s exactly what we’ll see on Saturday.

Exeter City

The Grecians strive to be something more than a mid-table team but no matter how much they fight it, they just can’t escape their faith. Currently, in 10th place, even the overall outcome of their games is as mediocre as it can possibly be – nine victories, eight draws, and nine losses.
