Fresh from an impressive victory over leaders Leeds United, Portsmouth host bottom side Plymouth Argyle in a midweek English Championship fixture. 

The hosts have been in good form lately and are often impressive in front of their fans. The visitors continue to struggle at the bottom of the table with no respite in sight.

Portsmouth Form


Portsmouth are coming off a 1-0 victory over Championship leaders Leeds United in their previous fixture. They kept their discipline at the back and also looked lively going forward, with Colby Bishop's second half effort proving the difference.

That was the fourth win in five Championship matches for Portsmouth, who are now 10 points clear of the relegation zone. John Mousinho's men are also solid at Fratton Park having gone unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 Championship home matches, picking up nine wins in that run.

Portsmouth tend to make fast starts and have opened the scoring in four of their last five Championship matches. Bishop often plays a pivotal role in that attack and has found the net three times in the last five home matches.
 

Plymouth Argyle Form


Things are beginning to look bleak for Plymouth Argyle, who remain rooted to the foot of the table, six points from safety. Their recent form does not inspire much hope as they are winless in their last six matches across all competitions, suffering four defeats in that run. 

Among the problems for Plymouth Argyle is a lack of cutting edge in attack having failed to score in their last two matches. They have lost their last two matches without scoring, falling 2-0 at Hull City before a 3-0 home thrashing against Sheffield Wednesday.

The defeat at Hull City extends a poor away record for Plymouth, who are winless on their Championship travels this season. Miron Muslic's men have also lost two of their last three away matches in the league. 

Head to Head


Plymouth have a good record against Portsmouth and are unbeaten in the last eight meetings. They have won three of the last four matches, and picked up a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in November.

Verdict

Plymouth Argyle may have a good record in this fixture but come into this one in poor form and low on confidence. Portsmouth, on the other hand, have won their last three home matches and should have the upper hand here.
 
Portsmouth have struck first in four of their last five home matches and should grab the opening goal in this one while Bishop is set to continue his scoring run at home.
