The League One match between Exeter City and Portsmouth will take place at St James Park on Saturday at 1:15 am IST.
Portsmouth aims to break a three-match non-winning streak as they visit Exeter City for their League One clash on Friday. In contrast, Exeter City hopes to secure back-to-back wins following their recent Boxing Day triumph over Wycombe Wanderers.
Exeter broke a 13-game winless streak with a dramatic Boxing Day win against Wycombe at St James Park. Sam Cox scored in the 65th minute, and goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo saved a late penalty, marking Exeter’s first league win since mid-September. Despite this morale boost, Gary Caldwell’s team remains just three points above the relegation zone. They now face Portsmouth on Friday, aiming for consecutive home league wins this season and their first victory against Portsmouth since January 2017.
Pompey heads to Devon after a three-match winless streak, starting with a 5-2 loss to AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Trophy. Following a 1-1 draw with Fleetwood Town, they faced Bristol Rovers, thinking Paddy Lane’s goal would secure a point after countering Anthony Evans. However, a last-minute goal from Luke Thomas handed Portsmouth a narrow defeat, slicing their table lead to four points. Despite this setback, Portsmouth takes confidence from winning four of their last five games against Exeter, with one draw.
Exeter City probable starting lineup: Sinisalo, Aimson, Diabate, Hartridge, Rankine, Carroll, Cole, Jules, Aitchison, Niskanen, Cox
Portsmouth probable starting lineup: Norris, Rafferty, Raggett, Shaugnessy, Sparkes, Morrell, Pack, Kamara, Robertson, Lane, Bishop
