Portsmouth form and stats
When playing at home in the League One, Portsmouth, who have the the best goal difference (+18) in League One, have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 10 games.
The Portsmouth goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 476 minutes without conceding a goal in the League One.
It's back home for Portsmouth, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Fleetwood Town away with the result 1-0. John Marquis found the net in that victory. Heartbreak before that as Portsmouth lost 1-5 at Peterborough United's place.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Hull City in only four days. This game is also played here at Fratton Park.
The Portsmouth fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. Portsmouth have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
AFC Wimbledon form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. With the Wimbledon losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
AFC Wimbledon might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sunderland proved too strong as AFC Wimbledon slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Cherry Red Records Fans' Stadium. Prior to that result AFC Wimbledon won their away game at Bristol Rovers in the EFL Trophy. The scoreline was 1-0.
AFC Wimbledon has another fixture away, a League One game, against Crewe Alexandra in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Wimbledon are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 11 games (in the league). Wimbledon have conceded 15 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
