Portsmouth vs Luton Town Prediction: Both teams seek their first win

The match will be the second game of the season as Portsmouth hosts Luton Town at Fratton Park in Game Week 2 of the English Championship. Both teams seek their first win in the current campaign. Who will walk away with the win after 90 minutes?

Portsmouth form

After 12 years in League One and Two, Portsmouth made a pulsating return to the Championship with a 3-3 draw at Elland Road against Leeds. Last term's League One champions seemed to have victory in their grasp when Callum Lang netted a late penalty but a last-minute Brenden Aaronson equalizer ensured the contest ended level. Even with the hard-won point, Portsmouth was left disappointed as they lost the first round of the EFL Cup to Millwall, who took a home 1-0 win. Following the previous two home wins against Luton, Portsmouth hopes to add to that record with another win in this upcoming match. Portsmouth still misses injured Jacob Farrell and Jacob Murphy, who may be back participating within a couple of weeks. Regan Poole, Colby Bishop, and Kusini Yengi also remain on the casualty list. Conor Shaughnessy, Marlon Pack, Andre Dozzell, Elias Sorensen, and Lang may feature again, with Matt Richie potentially making his first start since he rejoined the club.

Portsmouth Predicted Lineup

Norris; Williams, Shaughnessy, Towler, Ogilvie; Pack, Dozzell; Richie, Lang, Silvera; Sorensen

Luton Town form

Luton, who dropped down from last season's Premier League, launched their promotion push with a 4-1 hammering at Burnley and now will look for their first away win since January's FA Cup match against Everton. That optimism is likely to be tempered by a nine-game run without a competitive away win against Portsmouth. Hatters will look to secure an away win at Fratton Park for the first time since 1975.

Luton Town skipper Tom Lockyer made his way back to training after suffering cardiac arrest in December. Marvelous Nakamba, Reece Burke, Mads Andersen, Jacob Brown, Daiki Hashioka, Tim Krul, and Jordan Clark might miss out on this game. Luton Town will possibly make at least one change to their backline following their concession of four goals last time out.

Predicted Lineup for Luton Town

Kaminski; Holmes, Mengi, Johnson; Ogbene, Baptiste, Nelson, Doughty; Chong; Morris, Adebayo
