Pompey hold a three-point advantage over the Trotters in the race for the third-tier title, although Monday’s visitors have a better goal difference and a potentially crucial game in hand.

John Mousinho’s side will enter this match off the back of a 3-0 victory over Northampton Town at Sixfields Stadium, moving them up to 42 points to lead the division.

At Fratton Park this season, Portsmouth have a record of six wins, three draws and just one loss in 10 League One matches.

Bolton Wanderers played out a goalless draw against Oxford United at The Kassam Stadium in their last League One game to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches.

Ian Evatt’s side have picked up 17 points from 24 available this season in league matches away from home, and they will be looking to add to a five-game away unbeaten run, as they have not been beaten on the road since September 16 against Reading.

Portsmouth vs. Bolton Wanderers Head to head

In the 80 previous meetings between these two teams, Portsmouth have claimed 27 victories while Bolton have won 34, and they have drawn in 19. Bolton have scored 124 goals and conceded 99 in the process.

As well as defender Josh Dockerill – who is recovering from a cruciate ligament injury – Portsmouth will be unable to call upon the services of 11-goal top scorer Colby Bishop here due to an ankle injury.

Kusini Yengi should shoulder the attacking burden on Monday, where all of Regan Poole (ACL), Anthony Scully (knee), Connor Ogilvie (ankle) and Chelsea loanee Tino Anjorin (hamstring) will be missing too.

Bolton Wanderers Team News

Bolton have George Johnston (knee) out for the season, and they have also lost Dan Nlundulu to the issue that he picked up in the last minutes of his side’s EFL Trophy victory over Port Vale.

Nlundulu’s injury guarantees a two-pronged attack of Dion Charles and Victor Adeboyejo, who lead the way in the goalscoring charts with 17 between them.
