Portsmouth form and stats

Portsmouth won their last game, 1-0 versus Burton Albion played at home. Those three points felt good as this club had gone three league fixtures without winning. Scarlett came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Burton Albion last time out, making the manager Mousinho feel like a tactical genius. Midfielder Morrell was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.8. Morrell hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A 1-3 defeat away at Plymouth Argyle before that.
