Insights:
  • Portsmouth have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Accrington nor Portsmouth as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Portsmouth are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Accrington Stanley form and stats

10 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Accrington Stanley have to build on here at Wham Stadium in the League One.

Accrington manager J. Coleman and his team return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Sunderland (placed 3rd) in the League One. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Doncaster Rovers in a game that was won 2-1.

There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Sunderland as Sean McConville's goal in the 85th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Charlton Athletic are coming to town in four days.

The Accrington fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 27 in 21 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 22 goals have been conceded.

Portsmouth form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 11 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Portsmouth have lost on their last two travels.

Ronan Curtis scored in Portsmouth's previous match, the home game against Bristol Rovers that ended 1-0. Prior to that match, the Portsmouth manager D. Cowley faced defeat when travelling to Swindon Town and losing 1-3.

The schedule is very tough for Portsmouth now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at AFC Wimbledon is waiting in only four days.

Portsmouth have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 21 league away games 30 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Portsmouth have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Accrington-Portsmouth H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Accrington Stanley three wins, Portsmouth three wins, four draws. three of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
