Portsmouth form and stats

6-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Portsmouth, who have the most clean sheets (13) in League One, so far this season.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 210 minutes without scoring a league goal. Hirst was the last player to find the net.

No payout for Portsmouth in their previous match, an away game at Sunderland that ended in defeat 0-1. The talented striker Curtis bettered all the other players in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.1 out of 10. Curtis hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with AFC Wimbledon the opponent.

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 15 games) they have won five times, drawn five and lost five.

Portsmouth has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches.
