With relegation successfully averted for both Stoke and Portsmouth, their Matchday 44 clash in the Championship presents a tricky game for sports bettors. Stoke, who won the first meeting 1-0, are the favourites. However, The Potters are in much worse form than the visiting Pompey. Come see the best bet in our Stoke vs Portsmouth match prediction.
The Potters are closing out the season ungracefully as they enter the final two games off a four-game winless streak featuring three losses. The latest was the worst as Stoke just lost 3-1 to Millwall in their own backyard. But what’s also interesting is that the Millwall defeat marked just their first home loss since February, making a case for their better odds to win at home.
In contrast, the visitors are unbeaten in five of their last six games, with three wins in the last four games alone. However, that final game might be the most telling of Portsmouth's true form in recent times. They were just handed a 5-1 thrashing away to Coventry, conceding more goals than they did in the previous five games. But in all fairness, Coventry are the champions.
Pompey will particularly be fancying their chances given Stoke’s recent form and the fact that the early-season loss was due to a late own goal. See key stats below.

Our Stoke vs Portsmouth Prediction
Stoke may be on poorer form, but the venue of this Saturday's clash makes a strong case for The Potters. While they’ve lost three of their last four games, they’ve lost just one of their last seven at home. And that’s relevant because Stoke hasn’t lost a game to Portsmouth at home in all competitions over their four meetings since 2009.
It’s true that Pompey have been impressive, but they’ve still also presented a slightly weaker offence and much weaker defence than Stoke. Hence, our Stoke vs Portsmouth prediction is Stoke or draw.
