Portsmouth Preview – Can Portsmouth win seven on trot at Fratton Park?
The Portsmouth revolution is well under way on the south coast as Kenny Jackett’s men are closing in on a possible automatic promotion spot following six wins on the trot at home and losing just twice within their last 10 matches overall in League One.
In addition, Portsmouth possess a strong goal difference of +16 so all three points on Friday night against lowly Rochdale would see the hosts jump into 3rd place and just 2 points behind the top two teams in the division, Rotherham United and Coventry City.
Having won their last 6 home matches on the trot at Fratton Park within an overall strong and unbeaten record of 11-5-0 31/13, as well as scoring 12 goals and conceding just 2 in reply, Pompey look well placed to add to their points tally with the maximum points haul this Friday night.
Midfielder Curtis (11 goals) and forward Marquis (8 goals) look the most likely for the hosts here.
Rochdale Preview – Can Rochdale avoid third defeat on trot?
By contrast, Rochdale currently occupy fifth from bottom in League One prior to their long trip down to the south coast on Friday night, as well as having suffered recent back-to-back defeats to Sunderland 3-0 away from home and a 2-1 loss at home to 2nd placed Coventry City at home last weekend.
Indeed, Rochdale have managed to register just 1 win out of their last 7 matches overall in League One in recent weeks which was a 1-0 home win against Shrewsbury Town, but results away from home have let the visitors down of late.
Dale have lost 3 of their last 4 matches on their travels following losses at Wycombe Wanderers, MK Dons and Sunderland amidst an overall away record that stands at an ordinary looking 5-2-10 20/32.
As well as winning just 1 of their last 7 matches on the road, Rochdale have managed to keep just 3 clean sheets and they’ll do well to keep Portsmouth at bay on Friday night.
