Pompey go in search of back-to-back wins against Cheltenham Town night.

The game has been rescheduled after the meeting slated for last month was called off for international call-ups.

This is Cheltenham’s first return to Fratton Park since the final day of the 2016-17 season. Can’t remember what happened on that occasion...
