Portsmouth will seek to end their away-day blues when they head to Millwall on Saturday (15:00 BST).

John Mousinho's men have won just two of their 19 games on the road this season, collecting just 10 points in total, though one of those wins did come in London against QPR.

The Lions are four places and six points ahead of Pompey, who lie 17th and now only five points ahead of the drop-zone after Derby's win over Preston on Wednesday night.

A home win could take Alex Neil's side back into the top-10 and potentially within three points of the play-off places, depending on Middlesbrough's result against Blackburn on Friday night.

  • Millwall have won their past three league games against Portsmouth, winning each of those matches exactly 1-0. The Lions have never previously won four in a row against Pompey.

  • This is Portsmouth's first away league visit to Millwall since Boxing Day in 2011 – the Lions won 1-0 with a goal from Dany N'Guessan.

  • Millwall are looking to win back-to-back home league games for the first time since a run of three in October and November earlier this campaign.

  • Portsmouth have won five of their last eight league games (L3). Since the start of this run on 11 February, only Burnley (20), Sheffield United (19) and Coventry (18) have picked up more points than Pompey (15).

  • Portsmouth's Josh Murphy has been involved in seven goals in his last nine Championship appearances (2 goals, 5 assists) and has 10 assists overall for Pompey this season. The last player with more in a league season for the club was Ricky Holmes in 2013-14 (11).
