Portsmouth were expected to be among the best League One teams this season. Still, after only 29 points from the first 18 rounds, they are a big 16 points behind the league leader. Portsmouth were on the run of nine games without a loss until the previous match, when they lost 2-0 on the road against Wycombe. Portsmouth were terrible for most of that game, so they suffered another defeat.

Portsmouth had some problems with scoring goals lately. They scored only five goals in the last four matches.

Stevenage are brilliant in League Two this season. They are 2nd on the table, four points behind the league leader, Leyton Orient. Stevenage are without a loss in the last six games in all competitions. In the previous match, they played 0-0 at home against Mansfield. That game was fairly even, so it is no wonder the teams split the points.

Stevenage have a great defense. They allowed only three goals in the last six matches.

Stevenage are good enough to avoid defeat on Tuesday night against Portsmouth.
