Portsmouth and Millwall meet in the Championship with the same 15 points from 11 matches, and only one place apart in the table. This is therefore a game where the result carries equal weight for both sides. Portsmouth have just gone unbeaten in three straight matches, but their last two ended 3-2 and 1-1 — they can win but they concede in every game. Millwall, meanwhile, have drawn as many as three of their last five, drawing 2-2 twice and closing with another 2-2. Their defence is the side that has kept them from winning any of their last two. Millwall's pattern is clearly to sit deep and counter. They average just 44.5% possession over their last 10 matches but get 4.22 shots on target per game, more than Portsmouth, who have 53% possession and 3.6 shots on target per game. This game is therefore likely to see Portsmouth have more of the ball and push high, while Millwall wait for the counter and defend as a unit. If Millwall hold up and do not concede easily during Portsmouth's spells of pressure, the game will play out in a way that does not leave Millwall at a disadvantage.
