Football League action returns this evening, with a full complement of mid-week action across the divisions ready to keep fans on the edge of their seats.

Down in League One, newly promoted Portsmouth take on Bristol Rovers at Fratton Park, with both sides eager for victory having languished in mid-table for much of the season.

The visitors, fresh of the back of a successful season in which they threatened to push for a third successive promotion, have struggled a little under Darrell Clark this season, and the odds to not bode well for the 39-year-old manager.

In this fixture, Portsmouth boast an 80% win record, having picked up an impressive four wins from their last five games against the Pirates.

As per transfermarkt, Pompey boss Kenny Jackett will be confident in his side’s ability to secure the spoils on the south coast this evening, with Portsmouth having won each of their last four outings against Clarke’s men, with two bumper crowds at Fratton Park turning out to see pulsating 3-2 and 3-1 victories.

There could be goals in the game tonight, with 60% of meetings between the teams boasting three goals or more, so if history is to be repeated, do not be surprised to see Portsmouth win and both teams find the back of the net.

What do you make of the stats, Pompey and Pirates fans? Have your say below...
