Bristol City are eager to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Millwall and given Portsmouth's struggles on the road, our prediction points toward a 1-0 home win. The Robins enter the match without fresh injury concerns, and their home numbers remain consistently strong with 1.75 points per game and a solid defensive record at Ashton Gate. You should know that Bristol City are after their sixth home win of the process.
Portsmouth, meanwhile, are sweating over midfielder Mark Kosznovszky, who is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock in their 2-1 win over Charlton. While Pompey perform well at home, their away form is a major issue, taking just 0.25 points per game and failing to win on the road. Bristol City also hold the historical edge in this fixture and generally defend better, especially at home. Given the contrast between Bristol City’s home stability and Portsmouth’s away struggles, the hosts look better positioned to take the points, with a low-to-moderate scoring match the most realistic scenario.
Given aforementioned statistical data, Home Win should be considered, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Bristol City to Win to Nil.
This Championship match will be played on Thursday 1 January 2026 at 15:00.
