The two teams enter tonight's duel with completely different ambitions towards the end of the championship. On the one hand we have Swindon who hopes for a miracle and survival in the league, and on the other hand we have Portsmouth who really have a chance to play off. After desperate games and even 5 defeats in a row, today's host put himself in an almost hopeless situation. They are in the last place, with as many as 7 points below the safe zone, and after this game they have 3 more very difficult ones. Swindon fired the coach and put Tommy Wright in an ungrateful position. In most cases, a change of coach brings something very positive, but I do not believe that this will be the case here for two reasons. The first is that Wright has never had a serious coaching job before, in all three previous clubs he was only a temporary solution and does not have any great coaching experience. The second is that despite the desperate form and games they provide, he will not be able to count on 4 players due to injuries in today's match. With only 3 goals scored in their last 5 matches, it is clear that they do not have much reason to be optimistic against Portsmouth.

Portsmouth is a team that, surprisingly, plays better away than at home. During the season, they scored 7 points more away than at home. They are currently in one place behind the place leading to the playoffs, but it should be noted that they have the same number of points as Oxford that is in front of them, but also one game less until the end of the championship. They are in that position due to a slightly worse goal difference, and there is hardly a better opponent to fix the goal difference than the team that received the most goals in the championship. These are just some of the reasons why the visiting players have to win this game. Perhaps the main reason why they are not in a higher position are some unfortunate defeats and draws against the teams from the middle of the table, but when you look at their performance against the teams from the lower part of the table, it is clear that they are clear favorites in today's match.

Due to the complete situation in which the two clubs are, I give a great advantage to the Portsmouth team and I expect that tonight they will confirm their quality.

两支队伍带着完全不同的野心进入今晚的对决，直到锦标赛结束。一方面我们有希望在联赛中创造奇迹和生存的斯文顿，另一方面我们有真正有机会踢出比赛的朴茨茅斯。在经历了绝望的比赛，甚至是5连败之后，今天的东道主把自己置于近乎绝望的境地。他们排在最后一名，比安全区低了7分，而在这场比赛之后，他们还有3个更难的分数。斯温顿解雇了教练，让汤米·赖特处于忘恩负义的境地。在大多数情况下，更换教练会带来非常积极的影响，但我不认为在这里会这样，原因有二。首先，赖特之前从未有过真正的教练工作，在之前的三家俱乐部他只是一个临时的解决方案，没有任何伟大的教练经验。第二，尽管球队的状态和比赛都很糟糕，但是他不能指望4名球员在今天的比赛中受伤。在过去的5场比赛中他们只进了3球，很明显他们没有理由对朴茨茅斯感到乐观。

朴茨茅斯是一支在客场比主场表现更好的球队。整个赛季，他们在客场比主场多得7分。他们目前在通往季后赛的位置上落后一名，但应该注意的是，他们的积分和前面的牛津大学一样多，但在锦标赛结束前也比牛津少一场比赛。他们处于这样的境地是因为进球数差了一点，而且没有哪个对手能比冠军进球数最多的球队更能解决进球数差的问题了。这些只是客队球员必须赢得这场比赛的一些原因。也许他们不是的主要原因在更高的位置有些不幸的失败和吸引团队从中间表,但是当你看他们的表现对球队的下部表,很明显,在今天的比赛十分清晰。

鉴于两家俱乐部的整体情况，我认为朴茨茅斯队有很大的优势，我希望今晚他们能证明自己的实力。
