Portsmouth to win

Wigan could jump out of the relegation zone with a win; the trouble is they've mustered just one of those in their past 10 on home turf. The fact they're facing a rejuvenated Portsmouth side makes things somewhat tougher too; Pompey have won all three of their games since Danny Conley was named boss. Admittedly, wins against Shrewsbury and Rochdale are hardly eyebrow raising but it's proof his men can get the job done against those lower down the league. That's the exact task that awaits them on Monday.

Portsmouth to win to nil

The Cowley brothers arriving at Fratton Park has certainly led to increased positivity of a strong end to the season but they are missing one thing – a clean sheet; they've conceded one goal in each of the three games since the new manager came in. Facing Wigan could allow them to tick that box off. The relegation threatened Latics have one of the most toothless attacks in the league with just 39 goals scored in 38 games. They've failed to score in three of their last five home games too.

Portsmouth to lead at half time and full time

Our first two predictions make it abundantly clear that we believe Portsmouth will leave the DW Stadium with all three points. Here we take our tips on a level and explain why we think they'll lead the match at both half time and full time. Portsmouth have started games quickly under Cowley having scored five of their six goals in the opening 45 minutes. Of the past two games, those goals have given them a half time lead and they've not given it up. With the tip that Wigan won't score considered, this looks like good value.

Portsmouth to continue fine form

Portsmouth's chances of winning promotion have increased substantially since Cowley took control of the reins. Wigan meanwhile remain in deep trouble both with their future very much uncertain regardless of what league they're in next season. A team battling for their life rarely makes for an easy 90 minutes but Pompey will see this as a match that they can very much use to continue their momentum; the top two isn't out of reach just yet.
