📝 Match Preview: Portsmouth (H)

Boxing Day Football is back at SJP for the first time in two years as we welcome Portsmouth to Devon for our first league meeting since January 2017.

After a 2-0 defeat to Bolto on their last run out, the Grecians will be looking to get back to winning ways against a Pompey side who themselves are winless in six league matches. They were beaten 2-0 by MK Dons at Fratton Park in their last match. 

Gary Caldwell's Thoughts

Gary Caldwell has given his thoughts as City prepare to take on Portsmouth at St James Park on Boxing Day.

"They're a good team in a false position," Gary says.
 
"But it's a game I believe we can win, against a team who are not in great from. So we have to capitalise on that and make SJP a difficult place to come to.
 
"That is on the supporters and the players. We have to show intent and be aggressive with and without the ball. We have already shwon in games against Sheffield Wednesday and Peterborough that we can compete against teams higher up in the league."
