Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth hope to return to winning ways after losing their last game 1-0 to Luton Town. They had won three straight games before the loss. Their performance at home has been impressive having remained unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 games at home. They sit 17th on the table with 39 points in 35 games, scoring 43 goals and conceding 57. However, Rob Atkinson, Hayden Matthews, Callum Lang, Paddy Lane, Ibane Bowat, Jacob Farrell, Jordan Williams and Conor Shaughnessy are ruled out of this game due to injuries.
