Blackburn Rovers vs Portsmouth Predictions

• Only Sheffield Wednesday have taken fewer points at home than Blackburn
• Both teams have scored in nine of Portsmouth’s last 15 games
• Rovers have lost six games by a 2-1 scoreline this season

Rovers set for more home misery

Blackburn and Portsmouth are separated by just a point in the Championship relegation battle and Pompey are fancied to come out on top of this crucial clash.

Rovers have been poor at home this season, losing nine of their 18 games, and after a slow start Portsmouth have had a solid season since the middle of December.

The visitors have only lost five of their last 15 games, winning six of those, including a 2-1 home win over these opponents.

John Mousinho’s men have put up some of the best expected goals numbers in the league over the last ten games, allowing just 0.68 expected goals per game, and they may start to get the results that their performances have deserved.

Blackburn have lost six of their last ten games and back-to-back defeats against Bristol City and Derby mean that they are in serious danger of succumbing to the drop.

Michael O’Neill’s arrival brought about something of a new manager bounce but that seems to have worn off and they may suffer further misery at the hands of Portsmouth here. Take the visitors to win.

Blackburn have already lost six games by a 2-1 scoreline this season and could be edged once more in this one.
