England's League One is well into the second half of the competition and some things are much clearer. One of them is that the two rivals in this match will remain outside the playoff zone. Moreover, Fleetwood is still not in a safe situation regarding survival in the league next season.

Fleetwood lost the last two matches in League one and what is especially strange, convincingly in the match against the Irish Sligo Rovers 1-5. These results are certainly not a good sign for the upcoming matches and Fleetwood will have to be much better in order to ensure the status of a member of league one next season.

Portsmouth had solid ambitions at the beginning of the season, but some unforeseen defeats completely disrupted the path of this club. The victory in the previous round against Exeter did not improve the team's ranking too much, but there are still some theoretical chances to join the fight for the top of the table.

Fleetwood vs Portsmouth pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

The average of goals this season in Fleetwood matches is barely more than 2 goals per match. As for Portsmouth, that figure is around 2.5 goals per match on average. Their first duel this season in Portsmouth ended 1-1. Now we should also expect a very careful match from both sides, 4 of the last 5 direct duels were with 2 or less goals, so we expect another moderate match with no more than 2 goals in the whole match.
