🗞️ Team News: Swansea City

It’s our opinion that The Swans should opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation, handing starts to Lawrence Vigouroux, Ethan Galbraith, Ben Cabango, Cameron Burgess, Josh Tymon, Marko Stamenic, Gonçalo Franco, Ronald, Melker Widell, Ji-sung Eom and Zan Vipotnik.

ℹ️ Team News: Portsmouth

We reckon that Pompey seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Nicolas Schmid, Terry Devlin, Josh Knight, Hayden Matthews, Zak Swanson, John Swift, Marlon Pack, Min-hyeok Yang, Conor Chaplin, Joshua Murphy and Callum Lang.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Portsmouth have it within them to put one past this Swansea City lineup, but it probably won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re expecting a 2-1 winning margin for Swansea City at the end of this one. It really should be an interesting one.
