Portsmouth will hope to continue their decent run of form when they welcome Millwall to Fratton Park in the Championship on Saturday lunchtime (kick-off 12:30 BST).
Pompey have won two and drawn at Wolves since losing the south coast derby to Southampton to move within two points of the play-offs and seven clear of the relegation zone.
Since winning their opening two matches, the Lions have won just twice in nine games (D3 L4) and are level on points with Portsmouth but ahead of them in the table on goals scored.
Portsmouth won both league meetings with Millwall 3-1 last season, having failed to win any of the previous five encounters (D1 L4).
Millwall have won two of their past three away league games against Portsmouth (L1) - this after winning on just one of their prior 18 visits to Fratton Park between September 1971 and December 2010.
Portsmouth have won two of their past three home league games (D1), as many as in their previous 10 at Fratton Park (D2 L6).
Millwall have won just one of their previous six league games (D3 L2), though could record successive away league wins for the first time since March.
Only West Ham United (8) have scored more goals from set pieces (ex. penalties) in the Championship this season than Millwall (6), while they lead the division for xG from set pieces (6.8).
