Pompey's away form is woeful - but they may have to wait a while to get a better chance to improve it than at Tranmere.
Rovers, managed by Micky Adams, are stranded in the bottom two of League Two with Hartlepool, having won only two games - and just once in nine at home - so far.
That home form is comprable to Pompey's efforts on the road, where they've won just once and in all have taken six points from 27 on offer.
New recruits Marcus Bean and Matt Fish are expected to keep their places and in fact, few changes to the side who beat Morecambe are expected.
Andy Awford is depserate for the away form to improve and told The News: ‘It has been an ongoing saga. Solving it is the million-dollar question and what we have been striving for is a bit of consistency.
‘Tranmere will be difficult to hit the levels we did against Morecambe. I think that was very, very good at times. But I have looked at everything, I am thorough. We have looked at travel, we have looked at food, we have looked at what they do in the evenings, what they do in the mornings, who they room with. Do we give them single rooms?
‘What time they go to sleep, what time they go to bed. I have looked at absolutely everything and we still lost at Aldershot. The players can’t put a finger on it. I can’t really. I am at a loss with it, we have got to kick-start it.
‘I have thought about playing bingo on a Friday night, honestly, just anything to occupy them. Maybe we have a go of X-Factor, we have got to do something. They go out on the pitch, they are fully prepared, we do it as professionally as we can for the money we can spend as a League Two club and we do it well.'
