Two teams battling to avoid relegation in the EFL Championship, Portsmouth and Oxford United, will clash at Fratton Park on matchday 41. Portsmouth are in 21st place in the league standings and are one point ahead of Oxford in 23rd place. Here's our match prediction.
Portsmouth entered the international break on a low, failing to win in any of their last six league games (D1, L5).
In their latest match against Norwich, they earned a hard-fought point in a 1-1 draw on the road. That result halted a three-match losing streak.
Home is not where the heart has been for Pompey. Besides boasting the league's worst home record this season, they've lost their last four matches at this venue and failed to find the net in three of those outings.
Oxford United are in the bottom three and are trying to avoid being relegated to the third tier. Their chances of making it out of the red zone are promising, with just one point adrift of safety.
The U's have been in the doldrums, going three league games without a win (D2, L1). Before this slump, they were on a three-match winning streak.
In their recent league game, they salvaged a point against Hull, playing to a 1-1 draw at home. Their performance on the road has been cause for concern, with just one win in six games.
