Relegation threatened Blackburn Rovers and Portsmouth meet on Saturday. Pompey are 19th in the Championship, a point and a place above the home side. Read our match prediction below.
Blackburn looked to have turned a corner with two recent wins over Preston and QPR. That hasn’t been so and losses to Bristol City and Derby County have followed. They are only four points above the relegation zone.
Only four home league games have been won by Blackburn this season. Just 17 league goals have been scored this term, the third worst record in the division. Even so, three of their last four matches have seen both teams score.
Portsmouth also come into this match aiming to avoid a third successive league loss. The weekend saw them lose 1-0 at home to promotion-chasing Hull City.
Four away league games have been won by Pompey this season. Two have come in their three most recent fixtures at Charlton and Millwall.
Five points separate them from the bottom three but they do have a game in hand. Three of their last four Portsmouth league games have seen both teams get on the scoresheet.
These two clubs have conceded 90 goals between them in the Championship. We tip both teams to score.
