Portsmouth – Arsenal, FA Cup Prediction

It is somewhat sad that a glorious team such as Pompey are far back in the divisions of England and more specifically in League 1. However, this season Portsmouth have a chance to qualify for the Championship after numerous attempts. They are fighting a tough battle to get into the top 6. They are currently there, but many teams have points close to them. There were no serious rivals at the FA Cup for Portsmouth so far. The only team in better League was Barnsley, who may be relegated to League One after this season.

Arsenal were shocked after the elimination against Olympiakos, who were definitely underestimated by the gunners. Surely the team today will take a serious approach to Pompey, because such a fiasco cannot be repeated. Arteta is a student of Guardiola, and we know how Guardiola fits in the cups. This is not even about that, but Arteta simply wants to make his players have a mentality of winners and be serious in every match, and this loss from Olympiakos should be a lesson to everyone.

 Expert view : It is for these reasons that we will fully trust the better team, which, of course, is Arsenal. Yes, there will be rotations on the gunners, but they will not be the same as Jurgen Klopp, for example, in his FA Cup matches so far. In addition, Arsenal has repeatedly demonstrated not only this season but also the past that there are quite a few talented players. Not only that, but these talented players also show so good performances in tournaments like the Europa League, where there are much better teams than Portsmouth. Prediction – Arsenal -1.0 AH at 1.60.

Portsmouth have 5 losses and 1 draw in their last 6 games against Arsenal
