Championship matches do not get any more important than Saturday's massive clash at Fratton Park as Portsmouth host Leicester City. An upturn in form of late has seen Pompey climb away from the dreaded relegation spots, while The Foxes' lack of form and six-point deduction sees them sitting in the drop zone. What will our prediction be for this season-defining match on the south coast?

With three teams dropping into League One, the league table shows how important this game is for both teams. Portsmouth now lie 19th in the table with 48 points from 42 games played. Pompey are four clear of the last relegation spot, occupied by Oxford United. Leicester sit 23rd, one spot below Oxford, with 41 points from 42 games, and they are five points from safety, behind West Brom in 21st, who have 46 points.

After going eight games without a win, Portsmouth are now unbeaten in four and have back-to-back wins heading into this game. Their good run began with a 1-1 draw at Norwich, followed by a 2-2 draw at home to Oxford United. They then stunned Middlesbrough with a 1-0 win at the Riverside before another massive 2-0 win against promotion-chasing Ipswich last weekend.

Leicester have won just one of their last 16 games, although they have drawn six of their last nine and all of their last five away games. That run includes three successive draws, 0-0 at Watford, 2-2 at home to Preston North End and then 1-1 at Sheffield Wednesday before last weekend's 1-0 home defeat to Swansea City.

Our Portsmouth vs Leicester Prediction

Our prediction for the Portsmouth vs. Leicester City Championship match is: A Draw.

This is a massive clash in terms of Championship survival for both teams, but the data strongly suggests neither will take all three points here. Portsmouth are most likely to do that of the two, given their better recent form, but Leicester have proven difficult to beat, especially away from home, where they have drawn six of their last seven games. As such, the draw is the bet to make here.
