Two sides looking to gain an early advantage on Friday evening, Portsmouth will host Oxford United from behind closed doors.

In their 35 League One matches this campaign, they recorded 17 wins, nine draws, and nine defeats, scoring 53 and conceding 36 in return. With a points tally of 60, the Blues ended the campaign in fifth and holding a one-point buffer from slipping out of the top-six. As for their previous run of results, Portsmouth had won three of their last seven League One matchups, conceding a pair of goals in back-to-back appearances. However, unbeaten in their last 20 third-tier contests on the bounce, it should be noted that five of Portsmouth’s last seven matches across all formats have seen both teams find the net by full-time.

In their 35 League One matches this season, they also recorded 17 wins, nine draws, and nine defeats, scoring 61 and conceding 37 in return. With their goal difference seeing them beat Portsmouth to fourth spot, it should also be noted that the Yellows finished the campaign with the best-attacking record in the division. As for their previous run of results, Friday’s guests were enjoying a five-match League One winning run, scoring 14 goals and over 1.5 goals in all bar one of those victories. It is also worth highlighting that out of their last five of their last seven League One away contests have seen both teams find the net by full-time.
