Portsmouth made it five straight away games without defeat in the Championship last Sunday when they played out a goalless draw with Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.

Pompey’s biggest chance of the game fell to English forward Colby Bishop just before the half-time break but the 28-year-old dragged his close-range effort wide of the mark.

Portsmouth have now failed to win five of their six games across all competitions, losing three and claiming two draws, a run which saw them crash out of both the EFL Cup and the Hampshire Senior Cup following defeats against Reading and Romsey Town respectively.

Despite their recent struggles, head coach John Mousinho will be satisfied with the start to the campaign for Portsmouth, who could move into fourth place with a win this weekend as they sit ninth in the table with eight points from the first 15 available.

It is also worth noting that Portsmouth are unbeaten in five of their six Championship home games, picking up three wins and two draws since late March.

Predicted lineup: Schmid (GK), Swanson, Poole, Shaughnessy, Ogilvie, Swift, Dozzell, Segecic, Chaplin, Murphy & Bishop

Sheffield Wednesday preview: Defensive woes continue

Sheffield Wednesday were dumped out of the EFL Cup in midweek when they fell to a somewhat disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of Grimsby Town on home turf.

Grimsby were rewarded for their valiant display at the Hillsborough Stadium as Jaze Kabia netted four minutes after the half-time break to send them through to the fourth round.

For Sheffield Wednesday, this was in keeping with their woes in the Championship, where they sit bottom but one in the table after a stuttering start to the new season.

Henrik Pedersen’s men have lost all but one of their opening five league games this term, with a 2-2 stalemate against Wrexham on August 23 being the exception.

Sheffield’s poor start to the season has been owing to their defensive vulnerability as they have conceded the joint-highest number of goals in the league after the first five games (12).

Predicted lineup: Horvath (GK), Valery, Otegbayo, Iorfa, Kobacki, Fusire, Ingelsson, Thornton, Johnson, Ugbo & Lowe
