Opponents 

Portsmouth are winless in their last five games in the league and travel to the Valley today desperate for a win.

Quotes

Adkins has spoken about Pompey ahead of the game:

“[Portsmouth] have changed their formation in the last two games to match their opposition’s formation. 

“They look to play out from the goalkeeper [Gavin Bazunu], who is exceptional by the way, he starred for the Republic of Ireland recently. He distributes the ball very well and plays like an outfield player.”

Predicted line-up

(4-4-2) – Craig MacGillivray, Adam Matthews, Sam Lavelle, Jason Pearce, Ben Purrington, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Alex Gilbey, Albie Morgan, Charlie Kirk, Elliot Lee, Jayden Stockley.
