    Pompey do not have fond memories of their meetings with Accrington during the 2020/21 campaign.

    Both matches took place during the final 12 days of the season, with John Marquis thinking he had struck a late winner at the Crown Ground.

    But the striker than inadvertently found his own net moments later to ensure a crazy contest finished 3-3.

    The encounter at Fratton Park proved even more disappointing, with Stanley’s 1-0 success denying the Blues a spot in the play-offs.

    Now Danny Cowley’s men will be hoping for a better outcome on their latest visit to Lancashire this weekend.

    They are currently sitting four points – and seven positions – behind their 10th-placed hosts in the League One standings.

    John Coleman’s side have won four of their five games on home soil, with their only setback a 4-1 defeat to Wigan last month.

    They also enjoyed a 3-2 away victory at Charlton earlier in the week – a result that led to Addicks boss Nigel Adkins losing his job.

    Pompey have won only once at Accrington since 1925, with Michael Doyle netting an absolute screamer in a 3-1 success in March 2016.


    TEAM NEWS
    Paul Downing (hamstring), Ellis Harrison (ankle) and skipper Clark Robertson (hip) are all still sidelined.

    Jayden Reid (knee) is a long-term absentee for Pompey, but Liam Vincent (shin) has returned to light training.

    Ross Sykes (thigh) is an injury doubt for Accrington, with striker Dion Charles currently out of favour after having his commitment to the club questioned.


    HEAD TO HEAD

    Overall

    Pompey: 6 wins
    Accrington: 4 wins
    7 draws

    At Accrington
    Pompey: 2 wins
    Accrington: 2 wins
    5 draws

    I'm off to VBet to put my shirt on Accrington.
    9/5?
    Have VBet been in a coma for the past week?

    On the Accrington Stanley substitutes bench today is 20 year old winger Jack Nolan, formerly of Pompey's academy.

    Also on the bench is 21 year old midfielder Tommy Leigh, again ex-Pompey academy, and signed by Stanley in the summer from Bognor Regis.

    This next 2 hours will be a bit awkward. I'm at work, with the cricket radio commentary on the computer in the office, Final score on the TV in another room and the football and cricket scores on the screen of the PC at my desk. It's a hard life when the boss isn't here.....

    Looks like we're up against a keeper in top form today, as Toby Savin blocks John Marquis' effort in the middle. 15 minutes.
