Portsmouth 4 Crewe 1 FT: RECAP as Blues put in-form visitors away with brutal counter-attacking display
Pompey play host Crewe this afternoon looking to pick up only their third League One win on home turf this season.
While the Blues have looked impressive on the road – securing 14 points from the 18 available so far – they’ve looked less than convincing at Fratton Park, suffering three defeats in six games played there this term.
There’s a good chance to reverse that trend and to add to recent momentum as David Artell brings his newly-promoted troops to Fratton Park for the first time since March 2017.
Crewe will be no pushovers, however, if their recent form is anything to go by.
They beat play-off finalisys Oxford last time out, while comfortably beat league-leaders Peterborough at the Alexandra Stadium last Saturday.
The visitors are clearly a team in form – so Pompey will need to be at their best if they are to maintain their place in the top six and make inroads on the early divisional leaders.
