Portsmouth Host Stoke With Decisive Result Likely

Both teams arrive in solid form that has produced more wins than draws lately. Portsmouth remain unbeaten in their last five matches while Stoke have collected three victories over the same stretch. The last five head-to-head fixtures between these sides contained no draws at all. Each side averages 1.4 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game this season, creating balanced encounters that have often ended with a winner. Portsmouth net 1.7 goals a game at home and Stoke concede 1.7 away from home, which points to open play at Fratton Park. Either team could break the deadlock in what looks set to be a competitive Championship fixture.
