Two sides dealing with long injury lists, Middlesbrough and Portsmouth are set to face off, pushing completely opposite ambitions in the Championship. Middlesbrough, third in the standings, hope to rise back into the top two while Portsmouth, 21st, are just a point above the bottom three. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Middlesbrough have had a rough ride in their recent matches, failing to win any of their last five, drawing three. In their most recent, they needed to come from behind to draw 2-2 with Swansea.
Bagging only three points from a possible 15 has seen them drop to third, albeit due to an inferior goal difference for now.
One of the surprise results from the earlier rounds in the Championship this season was when Portsmouth beat Middlesbrough in their reverse meeting.
That marked a third unbeaten outing for Pompey in this fixture, and they’ve won the last two. The visitors will need more of that form here, as they look to move away from the relegation region.
They are winless in the last eight matches, losing five times in the process. The last two results, draws with Norwich (1-1) and Oxford United (2-2), can be viewed as progressive, with the team having come off a 6-1 loss earlier.

Our Middlesbrough vs Portsmouth Prediction
Middlesbrough have been concerning in their recent matches, and their place in the top two is under serious threat. They are on a winless run in five matches, accompanied by only three clean sheets in 10.
However, their scoring form is still very promising, though they will have to contend with a Portsmouth side also doing well in attack. Looking at both teams’ ambitions, we expect to see goals on either end here. Our prediction for Middlesbrough v Portsmouth is BTTS.
