Portsmouth head coach John Mousinho has been impressed with the performances of Wednesday’s opponents Millwall.

Pompey host the Lions at Fratton Park having seen their Championship match at Blackburn postponed on Saturday, further delaying their return to action after the international break.

Millwall are unbeaten in their past eight league matches and have only conceded three goals in that run.

“They’re well-organised defensively and well-drilled as a team which is something we’ll have to work on to try to unpick that lock,” Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.

“We need to move the ball quickly to put them under pressure but while their defensive record is excellent they’ve also got a real attacking threat as well.”

Portsmouth’s last game before the break saw them record their first home victory of the season by beating Preston 3-1 and Mousinho is hoping that is a sign of things to come.

“As a general rule you try to build any success on decent home form and when you pick up home wins it gives you a bit more breathing space away which we haven’t had so this is definitely a very important game,” he added.
