Portsmouth to secure vital win over Peterborough
2646

On Tuesday night, Portsmouth host Peterborough at Fratton Park, in a vital clash in the race for promotion to the Championship.

Portsmouth head into this clash in top form, having won seven of their last eight matches in League One. In fact, a 1-1 draw against promotion rivals Sunderland last time out ended a seven-game winning run in League One for Pompey.

The recent good run of form means that Kenny Jackett’s side are third place in the table, four points behind second-place Barnsley. However, this is Pompey’s game in hand, so a win would take the fight for promotion to the last day of the campaign.

The team from the south coast have been highly prolific in League One of late, scoring at least two goals in seven of their last eight league outings.

Pompey are unbeaten in seven home games in the league, having recorded four straight wins at Fratton Park in the league. Their attacking prowess has been key to their recent good form, as the home side has scored at least two goals in all four of their recent home wins.

Peterborough are currently seventh place, four points off the play-off spots. Darren Ferguson’s side needs to win to have any chance of securing a top six finish this season.

A three-game winless run in League One has hindered their chances of sealing a play-off spot. Last time out the visitors suffered a 3-0 defeat at Walsall. The game ended a run of low scoring matches for the Peterborough, whose previous five league games had produced under 2.5 goals.

Peterborough’s recent away form has been poor, as the visitors have won just once in five League One games on their travels, suffering three defeats in the process.

Forebet predicts that Portsmouth will record a victory in a high scoring clash to keep alive their hopes of automatic promotion.
