Portsmouth vs Rotherham
England – League One
Date: Tuesday, 12 April 2022
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Fratton Park.
With 20 points and 7 places apart, Portsmouth will be hosting Rotherham United who are on back to back league losses. The two will face each other this Tuesday at Fratton Park.
Rotherham is at the 3rd spot on the standing with 80 points from 40 games. They won 24 times in the league while drawing and losing 8 matches each. Rotherham’s drop in form of late almost saw they blew the chance to win the EFL Trophy last weekend. However after extra time, the Millers were able to change things with a 4-2 win.
The visitors still have two games in hand, but a 1-0 home defeat to Charlton Athletic on Saturday has further knocked their confidence. Just 5 points have been collected from their last 6 league fixtures, but their outstanding away form can be a reason why they can get back to their best.
On the other side, Portsmouth reside at the 11th position on the table with 60 points. Of the 40 matches played, they won only 16 games while drawing and losing 12 times each. They have undergone a dismal recent run of results, collecting just 3 points from 5 fixtures and failing to win any of them.
Portsmouth ended up suffering a 1-0 loss at the hands of Cheltenham Town to go five games without a victory. The recent games for them have witnessed an alarming drop in the number of goals. Pompey have been able to get only one goal in their last 5 matches.
Coming into this one, Portsmouth are unbeaten in their last 6 league matches at home. They even won the previous h2h played at Fratton Park.
Meanwhile, Rotherham are undefeated in their previous 7 league matches away from home. They are the third best team in the league when it comes to playing on road.
The struggles faced by the hosts could ultimately end up helping Rotherham overcome their poor form. Therefore an away win is likely to occur this Tuesday.
