Nothing to worry about in defence for Portsmouth, as their goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray has completely shut out the opponents for 206 minutes in the League One.

It's back home for Portsmouth, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Ipswich Town away with the result 2-0. Ryan Williams (2) found the net in that victory. In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Cheltenham Town.

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 nine games, won five matches, drawn two and lost two.

Fleetwood Town form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, Fleetwood Town have produced an overall stat of 3-0-5 so far.

It's the second away game in a row for Fleetwood Town, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Swindon Town (placed 21st) in the League One last time out. A draw for Fleetwood before that, at their own venue hosting Blackpool (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties) (0-0).

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

A new game in only four days for Fleetwood, the League One home match versus Wigan Athletic. Busy days.
