Sheffield Wednesday vs Portsmouth Predictions

Under 2.5 goals looks the bet when Sheffield Wednesday host Portsmouth at Hillsborough on Saturday.

Portsmouth are three places above rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday in the table, but with 32 points separating the two sides. The hosts have won just once this season, while Portsmouth sit 21st with six wins from their 24 games.

Sheffield Wednesday have recorded only one victory in their last 27 games in the Championship, while Portsmouth’s recent results have been a mixed bag, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six outings. However, Portsmouth have sustained six reverses in their last eight away games.

Both teams have struggled to find the net recently. Sheffield Wednesday have failed to score in more Championship games this season than any other team, going goalless in 12 of their 25 matches, while Portsmouth have been disappointing up front too, scoring just 21 goals in 24 games – an average of 0.88 goals per game.

It could be hard to separate these two sides, with the 1-1 draw looking a decent correct-score bet. Both teams have scored in four of Portsmouth’s last five Championship matches and that trend could continue here.
