The international break came at an opportune time for Portsmouth and Blackburn, who will be clashing this Saturday in the Championship. Portsmouth, placed 17th, trail ninth placed Blackburn by 10 points. Below is our preview and prediction of this match.
After a poor start to the season, things look to be clicking for Portsmouth. They’ve opened up a four-point gap from the relegation zone and will hope to extend that.
Heading into this game though, they are looking to recover from two straight defeats. The latest of them was away to Preston North End, losing 2-1 before heading into the international break.
Blackburn Rovers have been the dominant side in recent meetings between these two sides. In their last six meetings with Portsmouth, they are unbeaten.
The last time they lost this fixture was in 2008, when both sides were in the Premier League. much has changed since and Blackburn are coming into this game on a poor run.
Before they broke for the FIFA week, they had suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Cardiff City. That was their third straight loss and fifth winless outing.
Away from home, the Rovers managed just one win in the last nine Championship matches.
