🔮 Prediction
We’re thinking that Portsmouth are capable enough to score against this Norwich City lineup, although it isn’t expected to be as many as they will have scored against them.
We’re expecting a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for Norwich City at full-time. Could easily see this go either way.
