Portsmouth will head on the road to meet with Accrington Stanley this Tuesday evening as Pompey look to reignite their hopes of a spot in the playoffs once more with yet another defeat just as Accrington sit down in 20th.
Portsmouth's positive form from February which saw them lose just one game and win three has disappeared in recent weeks with a 3-1 loss away to Barnsley and then a 1-0 defeat at Fratton Park to Sheffield Wednesday.
The club have now won 13 times, drawn 12 and lost 10 with 51 points on the board from 35 games. It sees Pompey head into this game with 46 goals scored and 41 let in and they now come into the clash with a gap of 12 on sixth-placed Bolton Wanderers with two games in hand to play. Portsmouth's ability to get into the playoffs is far from over, although things are beginning to look quite weak for them in that regard.
As for Accrington, Shaun Whalley's goal against Charlton Athletic earned them a point on the road last Saturday and it means just one win in the past four games for the club. They beat bottom-placed Forest Green in that game before a 3-0 defeat away to Ipswich Town. Stanley remain down in 20th as a result, but with two games in hand to play over 22nd-placed MK Dons, they sit with a healthy position on the bottom three still, as the gap sits at two points right now.
