Prediction published on 02/11/2022, 05:57  by Indran in FA Cup Predictions

Hereford welcomes Portsmouth to Edgar Street for this first round match in the FA Cup. The home team are currently plying their trade in the National League North and sit in 14th position on the league table. Visitors Portsmouth are in fifth spot on the League One table. Hereford have come through a gruelling qualifying tournament where they defeated Bromley 2-1 in the final to advance to the main draw. They have only lost once in their last nine matches across all competitions with seven wins and a draw. Hereford also have an excellent home record, losing just once in their last ten matches at Edgar Street. They owe much of their recent success to their miserly defence that has conceded just one goal across their last four home matches.

Portsmouth are enjoying a superb start to their season in League One and occupy fifth place on the table. They have two games in hand over the teams directly above them so they are very well placed in the playoff positions. They will however need to turn their attention away from the league as they travel to take on Hereford the FA Cup first round. Portsmouth bring good form into this match as they have only lost once in their last seven matches. Their away record is not great, having lost three of their last five matches on the road.
