18th-placed Portsmouth is looking for a third win in six games after last week’s draw. In contrast, Blackburn will be looking to make it back-to-back wins when they face off on Saturday. Despite both teams being in the bottom half of the table ahead of their face-off, our Portsmouth vs Blackburn match prediction is both teams to score.
Rovers returned to winning ways when they beat Millwall 3-1 at home. They found the net in the two consecutive defeats prior to the Millwall game. Blackburn’s goal tally is ten goals from seven games. Interestingly, Rovers have also conceded as many as they have scored, showing they have defensive vulnerabilities.
Portsmouth, who were held to a 0-0 draw in their last outing against Charlton, have played one game less, netting seven goals. Although not spectacular, their goal-scoring abilities can threaten the away side’s back line, which is conceding at 1.43 per game.
However, Pompey is also conceding at a rate of 1.33 per game, enough to be exploited by Blackburn, who have been more prolific in front of goal. One point separates both sides in the championship table. Both teams will be eager to keep all three points, so we expect each side to go for goal and get on the score sheet.

Our Portsmouth vs Blackburn Prediction
Pompey and Rovers are in the bottom half of the table, separated by one point. Saturday's match will allow either team to climb above, meaning each side will be hungry for goals. Both teams are scoring regularly, although not at an impressive rate.
However, their backlines are also leaking goals, thus creating opportunities to get on the scoresheet. Both teams are nearly evenly matched in attack and defence. Hence, our Portsmouth vs Blackburn prediction is BTTS.
