Portsmouth Preview – Will Pompey end winless run?
Portsmouth have blown hot and cold this season. After 26 games played, Pompey have mustered up just ten wins, drawing eight and losing eight of the other 16. They are currently eight points behind the play-off spots in tenth.
Portsmouth recently went on an excellent run, winning nine of eight league and cup fixtures. However, since getting the better of Exeter City in the Football League Trophy, Danny Cowley’s men have gone on to lose three and draw one of four.
Portsmouth are without a win in four in League One, though they have certainly improved over the past few months. Can they get back to winning ways with a massive three points from this one?
Charlton Athletic Preview – Can the Addicks make it back-to-back wins?
Charlton Athletic made an abysmal start to their season under Nigel Adkins, claiming just one win from their opening ten League One fixtures. However, they have really turned a corner under Johnnie Jackson.
The Addicks had another little slump in form of late which halted their momentum, losing successive games to Plymouth Argyle, Wycombe Wanderers and Crewe Alexandra. Still, after a 1-1 draw at Cheltenham Town, the Londoners got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Fleetwood Town last Saturday.
