Portsmouth Vs Leeds Preview<\/b><\/h2>\n

Portsmouth<\/a> have a chance to return to winning ways should they manage an upset on Sunday lunchtime when they welcome league leaders Leeds<\/a> to Fratton Park.<\/p>\n

John Mousinho’s side found themselves on the cusp of a four-match win streak. However, they were stung by a struggling Luton last Saturday, thanks to a first-half strike from Jordan Clark.<\/p>\n

Portsmouth netted twice in each of their three games prior, and have a respectable goal count of 43 this season. Pompey fans will be hoping their side can outscore Leeds who have 72 goals this term.<\/p>\n

A win over their northern visitors would propel them towards mid-table security. A result that could be more likely than some bookmakers would have you believe.<\/p>\n

Leeds have failed to secure a win in Portsmouth since April 1986. A striking statistic that some fans have described as a curse.<\/p>\n

If Daniel Farke’s side can find a way to overcome this 39-year hex, then they at the minimum will maintain their valuable three-point cushion over league rivals Sheffield United who sit second.<\/p>\n

With Leeds having weathered a tough run of fixtures, securing seven points from a potential nine in the Championship<\/a>, can they prove they have what it takes to see out the rest of the season victorious?<\/span><\/p>\n

After a noticeable dip in form at the end of last season, Leeds fans will hope Saturday\u2019s draw to West Brom was more of a bump in the road than a sign of things to come.<\/span><\/p>\n
