Two sides struggling in the Championship, Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday, will be battling for three points in the Championship this Saturday. The two head into this game with Wednesday stuck at the bottom while Portsmouth are just above the drop zone. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
For both sides, last week wasn’t the best, as they suffered FA Cup elimination. Sheffield Wednesday are still servicing the federation penalty and start this round with -7 points.
That means they are 32 points below safety, and it will take a miracle for them to survive. Their 3-0 defeat to QPR in the last league game marked three straight league matches without scoring.
Portsmouth are coming from a pair of heavy defeats and elimination from the FA Cup. They lost 4-1 at home to Arsenal in the cup, a game that came after their 5-0 defeat at Bristol City.
Pompey have conceded nine goals in two matches and scored only once. Facing the league’s weakest side is, therefore, a welcome fixture. Portsmouth are on 25 points, just one above the relegation zone.
The visitors’ form on the road will be among the factors pulling them down. In 11 away league games, Portsmouth managed just one win and have earned the poorest travelers’ tag.

Our Sheffield Wednesday vs Portsmouth Prediction
Sheffield Wednesday’s circumstances have changed, but they hold a seven-game unbeaten run against Portsmouth. In fact, their only win so far in the Championship was against Portsmouth. Wednesday have conceded close to two goals on average in the league this season.
Portsmouth will come here looking to bag three easy points, but their history in this match doesn’t suggest it will be a light outing. The visitors have also been poor defensively and could be stung. Our prediction for Sheffield Wednesday v Portsmouth is BTTS.
