Match Facts

  • Portsmouth have won just two of their last 13 league games against Preston North End (D5 L6), though one did come in this exact fixture last season via a 3-1 scoreline.

  • After losing on their last visit to Fratton Park 3-1, Preston North End will be looking to avoid losing successive away league games against Portsmouth for the first time since September 1967.

  • Portsmouth players have combined to win 194 duels in the Championship so far this season – the most of any side in the competition.  

  • Preston have failed to win any of their last eight away league games (D3 L5) and since the start of April last year, have won just three of their 29 fixtures on the road (D10 L16) – no ever-present Championship side has won fewer.
