Following a tough period during the start of the year, Portsmouth are finally back to their best and are quickly gaining on their promotion rivals.
In order to continue their pursuit however, they must take all three points from Burton this Friday night.
This may prove to be a lot easier said than done with both Pompey and Burton in tremendous form. Portsmouth come into this game having one six straight games; one of those including their EFL Trophy final against Sunderland.
Burton, on the other hand, are also flying and have won four of their last five league games. What’s most impressive is that they have also managed to claim three straight home wins. That is something that Portsmouth will most certainly take notice of.
Looking at the betting, the recommendation is to go for a draw. Both teams are in good form and both have a lot to play for with the deadline for promotion looming.
