Nothing to worry about in defence for Portsmouth, as their goalkeeper Joshua Griffiths has completely shut out the opponents for 189 minutes in the League One.
Portsmouth are returning here after visiting Cheltenham Town and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Bishop (2) scored the goal(s). At last, a league victory after three matches without one.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Portsmouth's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 6 games, won 1 match, drawn 4 and lost 1.
