Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Fratton Park (21100 seats)

Portsmouth have 47 points playing as the home side. Fleetwood Town have 32 points using the away locker rooms. Could we look at anything else than a home win?

Insights:
  • Portsmouth have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Fleetwood Town have won significantly less corners away then at home.

The hosts Portsmouth saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the League One. That game was an away game at Shrewsbury Town, so at least Portsmouth are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Portsmouth form and stats

Portsmouth have played 15 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 8-3-4 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Portsmouth bring valid hopes of a third.

It's back home for Portsmouth, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Shrewsbury Town away with the result 2-1. Hume and Thompson found the net in that victory. Hume (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.95/10. Hume scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 38 successful passes (of 45 total).

Before that game, the 4-0 home victory against Doncaster Rovers.

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 eight games, won two matches, drawn three and lost three.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Portsmouth as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Oxford United are visiting.

A decent goal production from Portsmouth in their home games so far, with 24 goals from 15 league matches.

Fleetwood Town form and stats

Fleetwood Town have only collected 12 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-6-7 (15 played).

Fleetwood are travelling again after losing away to Cheltenham Town in their previous match (0-2). Attacker Harrison got a player rating of 7.0 in the game. "Man of the match" Harrison dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Milton Keynes Dons.

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. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Fleetwood Town playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, zero draws and three home wins.

The visiting Fleetwood Town have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 15 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Fleetwood Town have conceded 28 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The former H2H meeting ended Fleetwood Town - Portsmouth 0-1, earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings involving these two contenders are: seven wins for Portsmouth, two draws and one win for Fleetwood Town. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
