Do Pompey have the edge over troubled Saints?
The Big South Coast Derby Preview
- Published
Portsmouth have not won against Southampton since 2010 but could their rivals' current predicament provide a good opportunity to end that run when they meet at St Mary's on Sunday (12:00 BST)?
Saints are awaiting the outcome of boss Tonda Eckert's hearing regarding his punishment for Spygate charges, while key players such as striker Cyle Larin and goalkeeper Daniel Peretz face injury doubts.
"It does lean a bit in our favour that Southampton are in disarray at the moment," Portsmouth fan Brendon said.
"I think we come out the box and come out firing, in the first half at least.
"We've got to go for it. If Marko Milovanovic is back and we've got Tyrese Shade and Abu Kamara and Adrian Segecic, we can get in the pockets and run at Southampton."
