Portsmouth vs Wigan Predictions & Tips

Realistically, Wigan have been promoted for some time now, but The Latics are making heavy weather of sealing the deal. Leam Richardson’s side have failed to win any of their last four matches and now just have a three-point gap on third place MK Dons. A point on Tuesday would seal promotion and depending on Rotherham’s result, may also be enough to clinch the title. Nothing will be gifted to them however, as they travel to Fratton Park to face bang in form Portsmouth side, who have been able to play without the pressure of being in the play-off mix.

Pressure off Pompey

Portsmouth have enjoyed a good run of form in the latter stages of the season. Danny Cowley’s side have been in good form ever since the play-offs became out of reach. With no pressure on them, Portsmouth have gone unbeaten in their last nine home matches and will be hoping to end the season well and carry some much-needed momentum into next season. Portsmouth have been in free scoring form in recent weeks – they have scored ten times in their last four outings taking ten points from a possible twelve.

There is every chance that Wigan will have to wait until the last game of the season to secure promotion when they travel to Shrewsbury. Portsmouth have been pretty much flawless at home since the beginning of February, and they are fancied to extend their unbeaten run at Fratton Park to ten on Tuesday evening – Portsmouth in the outright market is the main selection for this one. The correct score prediction for Tuesday’s clash will be a 2-1 home win – both teams have scored in both teams last three matches.
