Portsmouth fan 'feeling confident' going in to clash against Burnley with two clubs constrasting form

Portsmouth come in to this weekends' game at Turf Moor in good form. They've lost just one game in their last eight - winning three of their last four. Whereas Burnley have already lost more games in a season than they have at this level since 2012/13, and it's only October.

Portsmouth fan Harry from Pompey Patter says he is 'feeling confident' ahead of Pompey's trip to Turf Moor this weekend, and when you compare the contrasting fortunes of the two clubs it's hard to feel confident as a Claret.

In truth it's hard to feel confident ahead of any game at the moment. Maybe that's slightly dramatic but you're only as good as your last game, and Burnley's last game was the lowest some have felt as a Claret for a very long time.

A 4-1 defeat at Sincil Bank resulted in some very toxic scenes at full-time in the away end, protests towards the board, and ultimately cost Nicky Hayen his job who has already been replaced by Fabio Celestini, who will be in the dugout for this game.
