Portsmouth to Win

Our first Portsmouth vs Accrington prediction backs the hosts to record a much-needed win. Pompey need the points to stay relevant in the battle for the last 2 available playoff spots and they will feel confident after easily winning the last 2 H2Hs. Also, Accrington come into the match in awful form – lost 8 of their last 10 league games (W1 D1).

Bishop to Score Anytime

Our final Portsmouth vs Accrington prediction explores the Goalscoring Market. We back Pompey’s top scorer Bishop (19 goals) to find the back of the net again. He has scored 7 goals in just the last 12 rounds. Also, Bishop has scored in 52% of Portsmouth’s home matches from November onward. Now he is up against a defence that conceded 12 goals in just their last 4 away outings.

Portsmouth vs Accrington Lineups and Team News

Portsmouth

Portsmouth dropped precious points on Tuesday when held to a 1-1 away draw by the relegation-threatened Oxford team. Despite going unbeaten in the last 8 rounds Portsmouth keep dropping points too often and their playoff chances look very slim now.

The key playmaker Morrell now misses suspended. At least of the 4 injured players, centre-back Swanson is the only important one.

Accrington

Accrington’s fall towards relegation becomes more and more likely with each passing round. Stanley suffered their 8th defeat in the last 10 rounds on Tuesday when beaten 1-2 at home by Peterborough. Didn’t defend well and the defeat was logical.

Important playmaker Coyle remains suspended. Also, none of the 6 injured players will be fit enough to play and the options for rotation are once again very limited. Sangare and Quirk both made rare starts on Tuesday. Both failed to impress so not certain if they will start again now.
