Bristol City vs Portsmouth Preview
Bristol City will look to turn their promising attacking displays into a first win of the season when they take on Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon. The Robins were held to a 2-2 draw by Birmingham City last time out and have now failed to win their opening league games. Their home record is more encouraging, though, with Bristol City winning 50% of their last six matches at Ashton Gate and averaging 1.5 goals per game. Luke McNally remains in the treatment room, but he should be the only absentee for the hosts.
Portsmouth, meanwhile, arrive in good spirits after an impressive 3-1 victory over Lincoln despite being hit by a number of injuries. The Pompey have won five of their last 10 matches and have been particularly dangerous away from home, scoring 1.5 goals per game on the road. They have also failed to score in just one of their last 10 outings. Josh Murphy is doubtful after picking up a knock, although he was unlikely to start anyway.
As Bristol City have won six of the last 10 H2H meetings and boast a strong home record, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Bristol City Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (60% H2H).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday, 29 August 2026 at 15:00.
