Blackburn Rovers and Portsmouth, two sides with contrasting ambitions in the Championship, are set to face off this Wednesday. While seventh-placed Blackburn seek to rise into the promotion playoff spots Portsmouth look to move from up from 21st. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Hosting this game, Blackburn Rovers will be keen to build on their win at Middlesbrough. Andreas Weimann’s goal 20 minutes from time saw Rovers beat Boro 1-0 away from home in their FA Cup tie.
That ended their five-match winless run which saw them lose three times during that stretch. Recent home matches haven't been great, failing to win any of the last three.
Portsmouth are in a worse situation, being outside the relegation zone only by goal difference. In their last league match, they fell to a 1-0 away loss to Sunderland.
It got tougher for Pompey as they would then suffer a 2-0 away loss to Wycombe Wanderers to see their FA Cup race come to an end. Their last five matches now read as four defeats and just one victory.
In that run they could only manage a 4-0 home win over Swansea City. Portsmouth failed to score in three of their last four matches. Meanwhile, they are winless in nine away matches, and lost each of the last five.
