All you need to know about League Two clash
Pompey will look to record successive home league wins when they host Leyton Orient on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
Victory would also secure a league double over the Londoners, after Christian Burgess’ header proved enough to claim all three points at Brisbane Road back in October.
The visitors currently find themselves down in 21st spot in the League Two standings and are just four points clear of the drop zone.
They are currently on a three-match winless run and were beaten 3-1 at home by Barnet last weekend.
Manager Andy Edwards has tasted success in two of his seven games in charge since replacing Alberto Cavasin – who had only seven weeks at the helm – in the dug-out.
Incredibly, he is the ninth man to lead Leyton Orient since Francesco Becchetti bought the club in the summer of 2014.
Despite their defeat earlier in the season, the ‘Os’ have got a good record against Pompey, winning the previous six meetings.
That impressive run includes an infamous 4-1 FA Cup defeat for the Blues at Fratton Park in January 2002.
TEAM NEWS
Curtis Main is out for Pompey, but Paul Cook otherwise has a full-strength squad to select from.
Sam Dalby (ankle), Liam Kelly (hamstring) and Robbie Weir (knee) are sidelined for the visitors, but Sandro Semedo has recovered from a toe injury.
