Pompey will look to end a positive 2018 on a high by collecting all three points at Fleetwood this weekend.
Kenny Jackett’s side are also aiming to bounce back from their first away defeat of the season against Gillingham on Boxing Day.
But they face a Cod Army outfit who are sure to be in confident mood after easing to a 3-0 victory over promotion hopefuls Doncaster.
It leaves Joey Barton’s side sitting 10th in the third tier standings, albeit eight points adrift of the play-off places.
They are a difficult side to beat at Highbury, with six victories and just two defeats on their patch in the league.
AFC Wimbledon – on the opening day of the season – and Barnsley are the only sides to have escaped with a maximum haul.
Like Pompey, they also have an FA Cup third round tie to look forward to the following weekend and will be keen to gain some revenge when they host the Dons.
It was the Blues who came out on top at Fratton Park earlier in the campaign, with Oli Hawkins scoring the only goal before Nathan Sheron was dismissed late on.
TEAM NEWS
Pompey will be without Nathan Thompson (hamstring) and Luke McGee (wrist), but otherwise have a full squad to choose from.
Fleetwood are also close to having a clean bill of health, with defender James Husband (hamstring) the only absentee.
