Portsmouth will look to go for consecutive wins in the 2025-26 Championship campaign as they come up against Norwich on Saturday in a matchday two fixture. This match at Fratton Park between Pompey and the Canaries comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.
The first round of matches saw Portsmouth defeat Oxford United 1-0 away from home, while Norwich lost 2-1 at home against Millwall. The teams also played in the EFL Cup in the midweek games.
Portsmouth were beaten at home 2-1 by Reading in the cup competition, slightly dampening the spirits. The win at Oxford was facilitated by a 38th-minute goal, so another early start could be key to their chances.
Going back to last season, Pompey ended their home campaign with two draws and two wins each, so the home fans will hope their positive start can continue.
Norwich were beaten at home by Millwall 2-1 in their opening game of the league campaign, with all three goals coming in the second half and the deciding strike arriving in the 83rd minute.
Norwich bounced back in the midweek fixture, defeating Watford 2-1 away from home in the EFL Cup, so the visitors will be travelling confidently. They would need a rebound, as Norwich drew three and lost four of their final seven trips of the previous league campaign.

Our Portsmouth vs Norwich Prediction
Portsmouth and Norwich have had opposite results in their two competitive games so far, with Norwich winning in the EFL Cup and Portsmouth winning on matchday one of the Championship. The Pompey were able to grind out an away win against Oxford on the opening weekend, something they struggled with last season. It would be interesting to see if they can translate that energy into their first home game.
Both teams are likely to go for goals, and our Portsmouth vs Norwich prediction is over 2.5.
