Prediction: 1-2
Bristol City
Following a 2-2 draw with Swansea City, Portsmouth will look to return to winning ways in the Championship when they face Bristol City on Matchday 19. The Pompey defeated Preston 3-1 in their last home game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Mark O’Mahony is a major doubt after limping off with injury against the Swans, while all Jordan Williams, Zak Swanson, Will Norris, Jacob Farrell, Conor Shaughnessy, and Ibane Bowat remain in the recovery room.
The Robins, on the other hand, rolled over Plymouth 4-0 at the weekend to climb to the top half of the table. Bristol City are more of a team than Portsmouth and given their fine away record in the 2024/2025 Championship campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. The likes of Mark Sykes, Joe Williams, George Tanner, Ross McCrorie, and Ayman Benarous are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Portsmouth):
During Milan Mandaric’s era at the club, Portsmouth played an important role in the Premier League, with the team finishing their debut season (2003/2004) in the 13th position in the standings. The club impressed in the 2008/2009 season, with Nwankwo Kanu’s goal helping them beat Cardiff City in the FA Cup final.
As a result, Portsmouth represented England in the Europa League, with the team progressing in the group stages of the competition thanks to a win over Vitoria Gimaraes in the final qualifying round. The current club was formed in 2013, but the original amateur club was founded back in 1883. Nowadays Portsmouth host their rivals at Fratton Park, with the venue holding up to 20,620 spectators.
The likes of Sol Campbell, David James, Glen Johnson and aforementioned Nigeria international Nwankwo Kanu are considered one of the club’s most notable players. Portsmouth wear blue shirts, white shorts and red socks when hosting their rivals at Fratton Park, while wearing white and blue colours when playing on the road.
