Coventry City head to Fratton Park on the back of a win against bottom side Hull City and have collected seven points from the last 12 available. Hosts Pompey have picked up seven points from their last three home matches. Mousinho’s side have only won twice at home this season while Lampard’s Sky Blues have two away wins to their name.

3rd Prediction For Portsmouth v Coventry City: Mason Ephron-Clark To Score Anytime – 12/5

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Portsmouth welcome Coventry City to Fratton Park looking to climb out of the Championship’s relegation zone. Josh Mousinho’s men find themselves in 22nd position, one point behind Cardiff City with a game in hand.
Pompey have lost just once in their last five league outings, an embarrassing 4-0 defeat at Derby County last Friday. That run has included a draw away at Swansea City, a point at home to Norwich City and home victories against Preston North End and Bristol City. Portsmouth have only won twice at home this season but have played out four draws and lost on three occasions. In their nine matches at Fratton Park, Mousinho’s team have scored nine times and conceded 10.
Coventry City head south for a fifth game under new manager Frank Lampard. The former Chelsea boss has made a decent start to life with the Sky Blues, winning twice and drawing once in his opening four matches. Coventry’s away record would see them sit 12th in the Championship, winning twice and drawing four times in 11 games. In those 11 games, City have only scored nine goals and have shipped 14.
