Team News

Portsmouth
Oxford
  • John Mousinho will make several changes as he searches for a reaction this weekend with Jordan Williams, Abdoulaye Kamara and Christian Saydee among those likely to start.
  • Centre-back Conor Shaughnessy remains a doubt after missing the defeat to Stoke on Wednesday night.
  • Expect one change from Des Buckingham this weekend with Siriki Dembele likely to return to the starting XI on the left.
  • Cameron Brannagan, Matt Phillips and Joe Bennett are all confirmed absentees for the away side.

Prediction

  • Portsmouth conceded five goals in a 10-minute spell either side of half time in midweek as the reigning League One champions were condemned to the heaviest defeat of the season so far, losing 6-1 against Stoke.
  • Cardiff's victory against Millwall means that Pompey are now the only winless side in the Championship.
  • Oxford United found themselves 2-0 down against Luton after 37 minutes, but goals from Tyler Goodrham and Ruben Rodrigues helped them level the scoreline before the hour mark in an impressive away display.
  • The newly-promoted side are still searching for their first away league win of the season ahead of their trip to Fratton Park.
