Match Facts
Including a 4-0 win in the reverse fixture, Blackpool have won each of their last three league games against Portsmouth without conceding, and could win four in a row against Pompey in the Football League for the first time since October 1947.
Portsmouth have lost on only one of their last four league visits to Bloomfield Road (W2 D1) though it did come in their most recent such game against Blackpool in December 2020 (1-0).
Blackpool have scored in each of their last 15 league games at Bloomfield Road; it’s their longest such run since a 16-game stretch between January and September 2012.
Portsmouth have either kept a clean sheet (9) or conceded exactly two goals (4) in their last 13 away league games, keeping a clean sheet in four of their last five on the road (W3 D2).
