Baffins Milton Rovers v Portland United
Wessex League Premier Division
PMC Stadium, Portsmouth
Saturday 14th March 3:00pm

Portland United head to the PMC Stadium this weekend to take on Baffins Milton Rovers in what promises to be an intriguing encounter. The Blues currently sit third in the table, 20 points clear of their hosts, who occupy 10th place, though Baffins have played five games fewer, leaving room for potential movement in the standings.

Portland will be keen to continue their strong form after a 2-1 victory over Baffins back in January at the Camp & Satherley Stadium. That narrow win demonstrated the Blues’ ability to edge tight contests and set a positive precedent for this weekend’s clash.

Baffins’ recent results have been mixed. They recorded a commanding 5-1 win over Bashley in the Russell Cotes Cup and a 2-1 league victory at Hamworthy Recreation, but have also suffered heavy defeats in cup competitions, including a 7-0 loss to Sholing in the Hampshire Senior Cup and a 6-2 exit to Hamble in the Velocity Wessex League Cup. League form has been patchy as well, with a 3-0 defeat at Sherborne Town.

Portland United will be looking to maintain consistency on the road and extend their advantage over the chasing pack. With confidence high and previous meetings favouring the Blues, the stage is set for another competitive showdown at the PMC Stadium.

Coach departs the stadium at 11:00am
