A week of frenzied Fratton football fare finally comes to an end when Accrington visit the south coast on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
Following a thrilling draw with Fleetwood, Pompey enjoyed a fine victory under the lights against high-flying Oxford.
It has helped them close the gap on the final play-off spot to eight points, with the Blues still holding games in hand over many of the sides they are chasing.
Their next opponents are a couple of places further back in the League One standings and were not in midweek action.
Stanley’s last outing saw them twice battle from behind to see off promotion-chasing Wycombe on home soil.
And most of their wins have taken place at the Crown Ground, with only three league successes on the road.
Their most recent away fixtures for John Coleman's men – at Doncaster, Cambridge, Rotherham and Ipswich – have all ended in defeat.
It finished 2-2 when the sides met in Lancashire back on October, with Marcus Harness grabbing a late leveller after Ronan Curtis had earlier opened the scoring.
But the Blues will not have fond memories of the last Fratton contest, with a 1-0 defeat on the final day of last season costing them a spot in the play-offs.
TEAM NEWS
Pompey are without Kieron Freeman (ankle), Jayden Reid (knee) and Shaun Williams (back), while Michael Jacobs (knee) is a doubt.
Ronan Curtis is still suspended after collecting his 10th booking of the season against Fleetwood last Saturday.
Mitch Clark is also banned for the visitors, who are also without Joe Pritchard (hamstring) and have fitness concerns over Jay Rich-Baghuelou (ankle).
