Portsmouth will host Coventry City at Fratton Park on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this season but remain well on course to beat the drop comfortably as they sit 14th in the table, just four points behind the promotion playoff spots.
Pompey played out a 1-1 draw with promotion hopefuls Leicester City on Saturday, heading into the break a goal down. They, however, upped the ante in the second half and were rewarded for their efforts with a John Swift strike in the 58th minute.
Coventry City have been brilliant this season and are pushing for a return to the Premier League after a 25-year absence. They beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0 last time out with Victor Torp and Brandon Thomas-Asante netting quickfire goals from outside the box in the second half to secure yet another win for Frank Lampard's men.
