Portsmouth form and stats

6 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Portsmouth, who have the most scored goals (45) in League One, have to build on here at Fratton Park in the League One.

The fans are hoping that Portsmouth will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the League One game against Bristol Rovers (placed 18th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Swindon Town in a game that was won 2-0.

The penalty miss from John Marquis in the defeat against Bristol Rovers was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Portsmouth have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won five times, drawn eight and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Portsmouth as they are travelling to their away game against Oxford United in the League One. That match is three days after this one.

Portsmouth are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 15 games. On the other hand, Portsmouth have conceded 15 goals.

Blackpool form and stats

The visitors are W4-D3-L7 on the road this term. That's in the League One.

Blackpool won their last game, 1-0 versus Rochdale played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Ipswich Town's place.

We have checked recent matches where Blackpool have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were zero victories, six draws and two defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Doncaster Rovers in just three days.

Blackpool have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 15 goals have been scored. 16 goals have been conceded by Blackpool in these games.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Blackpool - Portsmouth 1-0, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Portsmouth won four games, two matches ended with a draw and Blackpool has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven
