The aim is back-to-back successes on the road in a testing encounter with Joey Barton’s side.
Pompey have players returning to fitness for the clash, but have lost the services of Joe Pigott for three games after his red card at the Crown Ground.
Here’s how we think John Mousinho’s side will line up at the Memorial Ground.
9. RW - Paddy Lane
Really came to the fore at Accrington. Now has a standard to maintain as the attacking talent finds his feet. Photo: Jason Brown
10. CAM - Tom Lowery

11. LW - Reeco Hackett
Be interesting to see what Mousinho does after Dale was taken out of the starting XI for the first time on Tuesday. Hackett's goal and busy second half leaves him well placed to continue. Photo: Jason Brown
12. ST - Colby Bishop
It's 20 up for the Magic Man with the potential to go much further with 10 games to go. Photo: Jason Brown
