Portsmouth vs Fleetwood tips and predictions

Portsmouth look hard to beat

Portsmouth are currently in fourth place as they look ahead to hosting 12th place Fleetwood.

There's an odds-on favourite here but it doesn't leap out as the smart play.

The hosts come into the match having registered 12 home wins from their last 16.

The hosts have enjoyed some form on their own patch. Pompey scored three or more goals in 11 of their recent 15 home matches while doubling-down with their defensive stats. They've only conceded an average of 0.8 goals over their last 12 games at home. It's likely they'll maintain a clean sheet in this match-up.

In front of goal, The Cod Army have been underwhelming. They've scored one or less goals in 12 of their last 13 matches. All the data on the planet could be meaningless in retrospect if their forwards start making the right decisions in the final third. You shouldn't count on it though.

Obviously these sides are familiar foes. Portsmouth have won 7 of the last 11 fixtures between the two teams. The head-to-head stats point to another home win.

Portsmouth are decent favourites and it's possible they just don't give many chances away to Fleetwood. It is not a strong view compared to other previews but the No BTTS bet looks like the pick there.
