Saturday’s football game at Fratton Park pits together Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers, with the hosts looking to keep their third consecutive clean sheet after playing out a goalless draw with Charlton in their last league match. Pompey have won just 30% of their last 10 matches, while their home fixtures have produced 2.50 goals on average. However, their attacking display against Charlton was underwhelming, with Portsmouth registering only 0.40 xG. Terry Devlin picked up an injury in that game, with Regan Poole likely to step up.
Blackburn Rovers, meanwhile, aim to build on a 3-1 victory over Millwall, with Oladapo Afolayan scoring a brace. The Riversiders have won 30% of their last 10 matches, while BTTS has landed in a huge 80% during that spell. Blackburn have also seen both teams score in 75% of their away matches, which average 2.50 goals. Defender Yuri Ribeiro is a major doubt after picking up a knock against Millwall.
Considering that 8 of the previous 12 H2H meetings produced at least two goals, we believe that there is big value in betting on Over 1.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw and Both Teams to Score (Blackburn have seen BTTS in 80% of their last 10 matches and 75% of their recent away games).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 15:00.
