Portsmouth and Bristol City have each managed one win in their last five matches. They will be looking to rise from such runs when they face off on Saturday, hosted by Portsmouth. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Portsmouth’s season hasn’t been smooth at all, and a recent dip in form doesn’t help. The hosts are coming off a 3-0 defeat to Sheffield United.
That was their eighth loss after 17 championship matches and the third time in five outings that they conceded 3+. Four of their last five matches have had over 2.5 goals, yet they failed to score in four of their last six outings.
Bristol City’s push for a place in the top six has taken a serious hit in recent weeks. The Robins are coming from a 2-0 defeat at the hands of newly promoted Wrexham.
That was their third defeat in the last five matches, a run in which they managed just one win. The visitors’ fifth defeat in the Championship left them a point behind Preston, who occupy the final promotion playoff spot.
This will be a particularly tough game, as Bristol City haven't won any of their last three away matches. In their nine road matches this season, they managed just three wins.
