Hereford v Portsmouth live stream – watch FA Cup clash

A place in the second round of the FA Cup is up for grabs as Hereford and Portsmouth lock horns at the Edgar Street Stadium on Friday evening; this will be the first meeting between these teams in 13 years.

Considering both teams ply their trades in different tiers of English football, it’ll be interesting to see who will be left standing after this match.

Hereford FC’s form has gradually improved over the course of their season; they had a slow start to their campaign, winning just two of their first eight matches.

Here’s all you need to know to watch the Hereford v Portsmouth game tonight.

Can I watch Hereford vs Portsmouth on TV tonight?

Yes. The match is live on BBC 2 in the UK tonight. You can also watch with Bet365 who will be live from Edgar Street from 19:45 BST.

Hereford have lost just once in nine games played since then, with seven wins and a draw. In fact, Josh Gowling’s men are coming off back-to-back wins, with five wins in their last six games.

It’s worth noting that Hereford FC had to play in the qualifying rounds of this tournament; as they dismissed Bromsgrove Sporting, Three Bridges and Bromley FC in the first three rounds of qualifying.

However, Josh Gowling’s men will face their toughest test of the season, as League One outfit Portsmouth come calling. Will Hereford be able to pull off a massive upset here?

On the other hand, Portsmouth needed a penalty shootout in order to dispatch AFC Wimbledon in their midweek fixture; they’ve enjoyed a fairly decent run of form recently, losing none of their last four matches.

Pompey have been one of the best teams in the English League One this season; they are in fifth-place, having lost just two of 15 league matches this season.

Unlike Hereford FC, Portsmouth didn’t have to go through the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup; and that’s because they play in the English League One, a much higher tier than tonight’s opponents.

Danny Cowley’s men will look to extend their unbeaten run to five games, and they’ll fancy their chances against Hereford.

We would like to point out that Portsmouth have scored and conceded goals regularly over the course of their season; they have seen their defense breached in six of their last seven games, whilst scoring in six of those matches.

Hereford FC scored in five of their last six games, averaging over two goals per game in that stretch; they have no clean sheets in their last five matches.

Considering both teams were on the score sheet in four of Hereford’s last five, and in five of Portsmouth’s last seven games, we should expect goals at both ends.

The ‘both teams to score’ option is priced at 7/8 odds.
