Prediction: 1-0
Blackpool
Portsmouth will be aiming to retain top position in the standings when they take on Blackpool on Matchday 19. The Pompey are leading the chase for automatic promotion, but head coach John Mousinho must warn his men against complacency. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Colby Bishop, who has already netted ten goals in the new League One campaign.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Shrewsbury, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Portsmouth, who have turned their Fratton Park into a real fortress. The Pompey have already recorded six wins at home ground this term and we predict that they are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Saturday afternoon. As for the away team, Scotland forward Kyle Joseph is pushing for a rare start after producing an excellent displays in the crushing of Shrewsbury.
