Portsmouth take on the visitors Bolton in the round 21 match of English League One. The match will be played on Monday, December 11th at Fratton Park (Portsmouth).
Portsmouth are not just a popular club but a two-time country champion, and in 2008, they once again took the FA Cup. However, a financial crisis soon erupted, resulting in bankruptcy and a drop to the fourth level of British football. Active fan support saved them from complete disappearance. Later, investors from the United States arrived, and the well-known team rose to League 1. But they got stuck there; for example, they finished eighth last season. However, now they manage to lead. There have been setbacks; for example, in November, they were eliminated from the cup, losing to Chesterfield, and earned only 1 point in two matches. But then they dryly won against Burton and Northampton on the field, securing the top spot.

Bolton also wants to move up a class. Wanderers are very similar to their opponent. They won many trophies, although mostly quite a long time ago. But there was a victory in the League Cup in 2004, and overall, under Big Sam Allardyce, they had a good period when everyone considered them a strong team. But then there were financial and sports problems, the introduction of external management, and a drop to League 2 - fortunately, not for long. After moving up a level, the Wanderers took fifth place last season but did not succeed in the playoffs. However, now they manage to improve further, winning 2/3 of the matches played, 12 out of 18. Only, at the moment, Portsmouth's statistics are much better.
In January of this year, Bolton managed to win twice in a row, after a long break from successful matches for Portsmouth. But in February, Pompey at home secured a 3-1 victory. Both teams are strong, but Portsmouth have the advantage of the home field. Let's bet that the hosts will win.
Prediction for the match: Portsmouth to win.
