Blackpool

The start of the season proved to be unfavorable for the coastal side; however, as winter approached, the team's performances stabilized. At present, Blackpool is vying for a place in the top six of League One. Under Neil Critchley's guidance, the team has amassed 56 points in 36 matches. The gap between Blackpool and sixth-placed Stevenage is a mere four points. It is noteworthy that in recent rounds, Blackpool has displayed a commendable level of play, securing three victories in four matches. Notably, in the previous round, the "Tangerines" secured a 2-0 away victory against Shrewsbury. On their home turf, Neil Critchley's charges exhibit great confidence, having secured 11 victories with only three defeats.

Portsmouth

Thanks to a successful autumn run, John Mousinho's team climbed to the top of the League One table and has effectively maintained its position. However, the gap from the nearest competitor, Bolton, is just six points, indicating that the competition is far from over. In 36 matches, Portsmouth has suffered defeat only four times, registering 22 victories. Last weekend, "Pompey" secured a 2-1 home victory against Oxford United, extending their unbeaten run to nine matches, during which Portsmouth has secured seven victories.
