Portsmouth Set To Breach Burnley Defence

Burnley have conceded 2.1 goals per game across their twelve matches and allow 1.7 at home. Portsmouth have scored 1.4 goals per game this season and netted in nine of their twelve outings. Burnley matches have featured both teams scoring in eleven of twelve league games. The visitors come into the fixture after three wins in their last five and show enough attacking threat to trouble a side sitting twenty second. Head to head games between the pair have produced over 2.5 goals in two of the last four. Portsmouth have also kept their recent scoring form away from home where they average one goal per game. Their ability to test Burnley early on at Turf Moor will shape whether they open their account.
