Portsmouth are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run, but given Blackburn's fine run on the road, our prediction points toward a 1-1 draw. The Pompey head into Saturday's clash on the back of a worrying run of form, having lost four of their last five matches in the Championship. Their attack has badly misfired during this period, scoring just 0.7 goals per game, while failing to score in 60% of those outings. Marlon Pack’s suspension slightly reduces their midfield depth, but given he’s not a consistent starter, the overall structure of the team remains intact. The bigger concern remains their fragility at both ends of the pitch – Pompey have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten and concede far too many high-quality chances (1.50 xGA overall).
Blackburn, despite being hit by a long injury list, have shown far more stability and resilience in their recent performances. The Riversiders are unbeaten in their last four games and particularly dangerous on the road, where they’ve taken 7 out of 8 possible points in their last four away matches. Their defensive numbers away from home are impressive, conceding just 0.5 goals per game and keeping 50% clean sheets in that run. Offensively, they offer more consistency as well, averaging 1.5 goals per away fixture.
Historically, Blackburn also hold the upper hand between these sides, winning 6 of the last 10 H2H meetings, but given the current forms of the two sides, there is big value in betting on Draw. Under 2.5 goals betting option is also worth considering as 50% of their last 10 meetings have feature 2 or fewer goals.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 13 December 2025 at 15:00.
