Swansea ended a run of five straight losses by beating fellow strugglers Oxford
Portsmouth have not won an away fixture since the opening weekend of the season
Recommended bet: Draw
Both Swansea and Portsmouth are struggling to try and move away from the Championship relegation fight, with City having ended a run of five straight defeats with a crunch 2-0 victory at home to Oxford Utd at the weekend.
Pompey, meanwhile, have won just once in nine Championship outings and occupy the final relegation spot ahead of their trip to South Wales.

Team news
Vítor Matos has no major injury concerns ahead of Tuesday’s key contest, although several Swans players are only just approaching full fitness following short spells out.
Portuguese playmaker Gonçalo Franco and club captain Ben Cabango have recently shaken off knocks, while Zan Vipotnik will still be feeling a little fragile after carrying a mild quad injury for some time.
Nevertheless, the Slovenia international is set to once again lead the line after registering seven goals in his last 16 Championship appearances.
It is a totally different story for Pompey boss John Mousinho, who has seen his squad become decimated in recent months.
Jacob Farrell's injury-ravaged start to life on the South Coast continues after the Australian left-back picked up a groin issue following his knee surgery at the start of the year.
His compatriot Thomas Waddingham has been out since the first international break, while experienced centre-back Conor Shaughnessy and Franco Umeh are both nursing hamstring strains.
Andre Dozzell was due to serve a one-match suspension on Saturday, but this punishment has now shifted on a fixture after Portsmouth's clash with Charlton was abandoned.
The stats
Swansea's 2-0 victory over Oxford was their first win since defeating Norwich on home turf in late October, with them having only picked up one point in the intervening period.
The Swans have kept just two clean sheets all season.
Although they have a reasonable defensive record for a team marooned in the relegation zone, Pompey are severely blunt in attack.
Only rock-bottom Sheff Wed have netted fewer goals than Mousinho's men.
Pompey have only won once following the season's second international break – a 3-1 defeat of Millwall at Fratton Park towards the end of last month.

Prediction
Neither team carries much confidence into Tuesday's game, although the hosts are considered marginal favourites after halting a miserable sequence of results at the weekend.
Nevertheless, the visitors will see this as a real opportunity to improve their horrendous away record.
The two-time FA Cup winners have scored just six goals on route to accruing a paltry six points on the road this term, but face a City outfit which concedes regularly on home turf.
Furthermore, Matos' side have only registered three league wins at the Swansea.com Stadium this term, although League Two Crawley Town, League One Plymouth Argyle and Premier League Nottingham Forest all suffered EFL Cup exits at the venue.
Pompey can produce a performance on their day, but a draw would be seen as a positive result for Mousinho's struggling side.
