Accrington or Draw

Struggling Accrington need points as they sit only 2 points above the relegation zone. At the same time, Pompey are 12 points adrift from the playoffs now and their motivation is much lower. Accrington actually lost only 1 of their last 7 games against Portsmouth (W2 D4). Also, Pompey have won only 1 of their last 5 away games.

Half With Most Goals – Second

Our second Accrington vs Portsmouth prediction is for the second half of the match to produce the majority of the goals. With both teams scoring over 70% of their goals this season after the interval we think this betting tip is one that’s worth considering. Accrington score 79.6% of their goals in the second half, Portsmouth 71.2% of their goals.

BTTS – No

We don’t think that both teams will be able to score in this midweek clash. That’s our final Accrington vs Portsmouth prediction. Our Reasoning is that 5 of Accrington’s last 6 home league matches saw at least one of the teams keeping a clean sheet. This also happened in 5 of Portsmouth’s last 7 league games.

Accrington vs Portsmouth Lineups & News

Accrington

Accrington held Charlton to a 1-1 away draw on Saturday. Stanley played well for large periods in this match and were good value for the point. The Reds have won only 2 of their last 10 league games though, so they remain in need of points.

The rotation options are much better now. For a starter, star playmaker McCoville is back from a ban and should start. The main goalie Jensen also served his suspension and could start again. Also, benched at the weekend Lowe and Nottingham could be considered.

There are only 5 players remaining sidelined and the midfield line is still a bit bare with all of Hamilton, Coyle and Pritchard among the sidelined.

Portsmouth

Pompey’s playoff chances look all but over after a 0-1 home loss against leaders Sheffield Wednesday was suffered on Saturday. Portsmouth played a decent game but didn’t create enough chances and this proved costly.

Changes to the lineup can be expected. Teenager Scarlett was dropped to the bench at the weekend but now he can replace the unconvincing Pigott in the starting lineup. Lowery also should start again.

Remain without 5 long-term absentees. Among them are important centre-back Swanson and key inner midfielder Pack.
