Portsmouth come into the final round on the back of a solid 3–1 win over Stoke City, sitting safely in 18th place with no pressure on the result. As both Portsmouth and Birmingham City will be with guards down, we predict a 2-2 draw. Pompey's recent form shows 1.40 points per game, with matches averaging a high 3.10 total goals. Defensively, they can be vulnerable (1.80 conceded per game), and the likely absence of goalkeeper Josef Bursík could further weaken their back line. However, they remain a threat going forward, scoring 1.30 goals per match.
Birmingham City arrive with more at stake, aiming to secure a top-ten finish after a 2–1 win over Bristol City. Their overall form matches Portsmouth (1.40 points per game), but their away record is a concern—no wins in the last four and just 0.50 goals scored per away game. Still, they boast a relatively solid defense, conceding only 0.90 goals on average.
Portsmouth’s high-scoring games (3.10 avg) point toward an open match. Therefore, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Over 3.5 goals.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 2 May 2026 at 12:30.
