Table leaders Portsmouth take on 11th placed Blackpool here and Blackpool are struggling to find form with 9 wins from 25 against a 17 of 26 record for Portsmouth. Portsmouth beat two teams that Blackpool lost and drew with, so it looks a reasonable assumption that they will have the edge at home.
Portsmouth have won 6 of their last 7 games in all competitions and they have won 3 of their last 4 games against Blackpool. Besides, Blackpool are in poor form with 7 consecutive games without a win. Portsmouth to win here.
