Blackpool 1 Portsmouth FT: RECAP as Blues surrender unbeaten league away record with dire showing

The Blues are aiming to get back to winning ways in the third tier, after drawing 1-1 with Oxford United last week.

But Kenny Jackett’s side should feel bullish they can return to the south coast with all three points.

Pompey are unbeaten on the road in the league this season, winning four games and drawing two of their six matches.

December is set to be a pivotal month for the Blues and could play a profound role in their promotion ambitions this season.

In total, Jackett’s side have eight matches in 29 days to negotiate, with fixtures against the likes of Peterborough, Ipswich, Fleetwood and Hull all to come in the next few weeks.

A success for Pompey against the Seasiders will be the perfect start for them.
