Portsmouth play host to Preston North End at Fratton Park on matchday four in the Championship. Portsmouth are in 11th place in the league standings, while Preston are in sixth place. Let's head into the match prediction. 

Portsmouth have had a mixed start to the 2025-26 Championship. However, they have managed to accumulate four points and are not far behind the top three in the league standings.

Pompey had a promising start, defeating Oxford United 1-0 on the road. After that result, their confidence was shattered by a 2-1 home defeat against Reading FC in the first round of the EFL Cup.

Since then, John Mousinho's men have never been the same. A 2-1 home league defeat against Norwich City was followed by a recent 1-1 away draw against West Brom. 

Preston North End, on the other hand, are aiming to restore their confidence and get back to winning ways after a narrow 3-2 home defeat against Wrexham in the second round of the EFL Cup.

That feat can be achieved considering their impressive start to the 2025-26 Championship season. Surprisingly, they have gone three league games without defeat, recording two wins and one draw.

Both of their wins came against stronger opponents, Leicester City (2-1) and, most recently, Ipswich Town (1-0). Before this impressive display, the Lilywhites snatched a point against QPR in their opening match.

Our Portsmouth vs Preston North End Prediction

Portsmouth will be looking to make the most of home advantage in a bid to end a two-match winless run in the Championship. That could be easier said than done for a side that has lost two consecutive home matches across all competitions. 

Preston North End are riding high on momentum and are the better-performing side in this fixture. The visitors won 2-1 at home on the final day of the Championship last season, and we expect them to avoid defeat in this one. Our Portsmouth vs Preston North End prediction: Preston North End draw no bet.
