Burnley vs Portsmouth

Match preview

Burnley return to Turf Moor still searching for that elusive first home victory of the Championship campaign. Sitting down in twenty-second place with just eight points from twelve games, the Lancashire side are hovering dangerously above the drop zone. Their recent sequence shows patches of resilience, yet drawing four and losing two of their six home fixtures so far highlights a worrying inability to turn draws into wins in front of their own supporters.

Portsmouth make the long journey north occupying eleventh position with eighteen points on the board. John Mousinho's side have established solid momentum over the past month, picking up four wins from their last five outings. While their away record of two wins, two draws and two defeats suggests they can occasionally be vulnerable on the road, their overall trajectory currently points upward compared to their struggling hosts.
