Betting suggestion:

Despite of being in different divisions, this game brings together formations that expose gaps in the defensive sectors, however, we recognize that one of them has all the requirements to win. Arsenal have a very skilled squad in all processes and moreover, they have more experience, since Portsmouth is a team with several weaknesses in the game model, but has an effective attack.

Preview
Portsmouth and Arsenal face at Fratton Park, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round). There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 30‑12‑2009, the match ended with the final score: Portsmouth (1‑4) Arsenal. Portsmouth registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Portsmouth

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round) after having played in the previous rounds against: Barnsley, Fleetwood Town, Altrincham and Harrogate Town. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 14 wins and 1 draw at their stadium. They come to this match after a home win against Rochdale by (3‑0). Portsmouth has won 10 of the last 10 home matches.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 wins in the last matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 9 of those 12 matches and have always held on to the lead until the end of the 90'. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Portsmouth comes motivated for this match after having won by 3-0 against Rochdale, thus adding the second consecutive victory in this third English division. To reach this stage of the FA Cup, the home team overcame Barnsley, Fleetwood, Altricham and Harrogate Town. In this reception for the Arsenal team, the home coach should favor a more defensive style of play, looking for any space to apply the counterattack. John Marquis and Ronan Curtis are the great scorers of this team with 13 goals each in official matches. All players are available for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Alex Bass, Steve Seddon, Christian Burgess, James Bolton, Marcus Harness, Ryan Williams, Ben Close, Cameron McGeehan, Ross McCrorie, Ellis Harrison, Gareth Evans.
Coach: J. Mousinho.

Analysis Arsenal

The away team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round) after havinf played in the previous rounds against: AFC Bournemouth and Leeds United. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 10 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got a home loss against Olympiakos Piraeus by (1‑2) after extended time. In the last 10 away matches Arsenal has won 3 and tied 7. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Arsenal comes unmotivated for this match after being eliminated in the Europa League, losing in extra time against Olympiakos by 1-2. In the last game to count for the FA Cup, the visiting club won against Bournemouth by 1-2.  In this match against Portsmouth, coach Mikel Arteta should maintain his usual 4-3-3 tactic, with Aubameyang, Nicolas Pépé and Lacazette being the team's most offensive references: the first athlete mentioned is the top scorer of this club with 20 goals scored. Arsenal has had some difficulties in the defensive sector, something that has hurt the team in their matches. For this game the coach cannot count on Cédric Soares, Chambers, Mustafi and Kolasinac, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Emiliano Martínez, David Luiz, Pablo Marí, Sokratis, Mattéo Guendouzi, Bukayo Saka, Joseph Willock, Lucas Torreira, Reiss Nelson, Martinelli, Edward Nketiah.
Coach: M. Arteta.
