It's a long trip to the south coast on Saturday for Middlesbrough as they take on Portsmouth in a Championship match. Boro is 5th in the table while Pompey is sat in 22nd position ahead of our prediction on the outcome.
These two teams played out a 2-2 draw earlier on in the season, an injury-time penalty saving Boro's blushes. Pompey has really found their goal-scoring stroke of late at home. Two of their last five games have seen them score four and in another two, they have netted three.
Unsurprisingly, they have won all of those four games, drawing Norwich in the other. They have done well keeping it tight at the other end as well but they face a serious challenge to keep that defensive run going.
Middlesbrough has been in fine scoring form away from home, netting 19 times in their last seven matches. That has given them three wins and three draws in that time with only Leeds getting the better of them.
They have conceded 13 in that same time so there has been plenty of action for neutrals in most of their away games. This has the potential for lots of goals at the weekend.

Our Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Portsmouth has been smashing in the goals at Fratton Park of late while their visitors have been netting with regularity on the road. In fact, no team has more goals away from home in the division than Middlesbrough.
While Pompey's home defence has been completely different from when they are on their travels, it is going to have a thorough test here. Boro does not do well keeping the ball out of the net on either so our Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough prediction is for over 2.5 goals.
