by Ian John in Championship Predictions
Bottom of the table Portsmouth face Sheffield Wednesday just three days after they were last in Championship action. Despite the short turnaround for this fixture, our prediction is that Pompey and the visiting Owls should produce a match with plenty of goals.
Defensively, Portsmouth have the worst record in the Championship, conceding 23 goals in eleven games, four more than the next worst team in the division. Manager John Mousinho read the riot act to his players on Tuesday after their meek 2-0 defeat away to Cardiff City left them bottom of the table.
Certainly, Pompey will have plenty to motivate them ahead of Sheffield Wednesday’s visit, especially since they have not beaten the Owls in any of the last five encounters (losing three, drawing two).
Danny Rohl’s team have been frustratingly inconsistent this season, playing very well in some games, especially the Carabao Cup, but looking abject in others. They come into this game having picked up just one point from their last two home games.
First they lost 2-0 at home to Burnley at the weekend, before drawing 0-0 with Swansea in midweek.
They have scored the same number of leaguegoals as their opponents today (eleven), but also have a poor defensive record with 17 conceded.

Our Portsmouth vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Our prediction for the Portsmouth vs. Sheffield Wednesday Championship match is: Over 2.5 Goals to be scored.
Goals can be scored due to attacking brilliance, or defensive ineptitude. The latter may be the case in this game with two defences amongst the poorest in the Championship. Four of the last six games between these two teams have seen over 2.5 goals scored, and the data suggests Friday's match will likely be another.
