We said: Stoke City 2-1 Portsmouth

 Stoke have not faced Portsmouth since 2014, but they have historically fared well in head-to-head home meetings, having won five and drawn two of their previous seven home games against Pompey. With that in mind, we think that the Potters will make full use of home advantage to edge out Portsmouth to clinch the first win of Pelach's tenure. Read more.
