Leicester City may have lost only 1 of their last six home games, but the other 5 have resulted in drawn games. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 in the wrong end.

Portsmouth's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Pompey's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Leicester City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 36 games have yielded only 30 points. Portsmouth find themselves struggling down in 14th position in the league having picked up 42 points from their 36 matches.
