Portsmouth return to Championship action on Saturday, welcoming Sheffield Utd to Fratton Park. Pompey are 20th in the standings with 33 points, while Sheffield are 17th with 39 points. Can they edge the Blades to strengthen their survival hopes? Here is our prediction.
Tottenham loanee Alfie Devine's 40th-minute goal was enough to condemn Portsmouth to their first defeat in five Championship matches on Saturday against Preston. Notably, Saturday's loss has left Portsmouth with just a one-point cushion from the drop zone and a win against Sheffield Utd remains crucial to strengthen their survival bid.
John Mousinho's side have found the net in five of their last six matches, including in a clash against Premier League leaders Arsenal in the FA Cup third round. They also boast a decent scoring record at Fratton Park, finding the net in their last six matches at the venue.
Sheffield Utd fell 2–1 at home to league leaders Middlesbrough last week. The Blades are still within the confines of the seething relegation battle, but are relatively better off than Portsmouth with a seven-point cushion from the drop zone.
However, their biggest challenge is a porous defence. They haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 10 matches across all competitions and have conceded in 11 of their last 12 away fixtures.
