A close encounter is on the cards at Fratton Park as Portsmouth and WBA go head to head in the Championship round 30. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw. Portsmouth continue to battle with a long injury list – nine players remain unavailable – yet the Pompey showed admirable resilience in a 1-1 draw with Southampton last weekend. At home, John Mousinho's men have been competitive, earning 1.60 points per game and averaging 1.40 goals scored, although their defence remains leaky with 1.60 goals conceded at home. Notably, all home league matches have seen BTTS (100%), highlighting their wide-open game profile.
West Bromwich Albion head into Saturday's match after a 1-1 draw with Derby County, but injury doubts over Grant and Bielik could disrupt their balance. Their away form is a major concern: the Baggies take just 0.40 points per game on the road, with 0% away wins and only 0.80 goals scored, while conceding 1.40. Overall, WBA’s recent run of LDLLD shows clear instability, though they still manage to produce goals, with 60% BTTS away from home.
As both sides concede regularly and H2H is 60% over 2.5, we are tempted to place our bets on Over 2.5 goals, alongside BTTS and Portsmouth or Draw (stronger home numbers vs WBA’s poor away record).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 15:00.
