In-form Pompey head to the Lamex Stadium to face high flying Stevenage in this midweek fixture. Michael Appleton’s men have taken 13 points from a possible 15, going unbeaten in five matches. His counterpart Gary Smith has led Stevenage to an early promotion charge and will be keen to continue this form at home to the Blues.
