Sheffield United vs Portsmouth Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Kennedy Kechula in Championship Predictions
Portsmouth will be keen on making another giant leap in their survival race when they visit Sheffield United on Saturday. Heading into this game, Sheffield United are third, while Portsmouth arrive for the game in 20th place. We have below a prediction of this match.
The Blades are looking to build on their 1-0 win over Derby County in the last match. That win kept them within striking distance of the automatic promotion places.
It was their fourth win in five league matches. However, Sheffield haven't really enjoyed playing at home lately, winning just once in the last four Championship matches there.
John Mousinho hasn’t been able to lift Portsmouth to last season’s heights. At this stage of the season, survival in the Championship would be a big plus.
They come into this game sitting three points above the relegation zone. Pompey will desire to widen that gap, but here they come in poor form, being winless in the last three matches.
Of those three matches, they lost twice and failed to score in the last two.
The visitors will, however, consider a 0-0 draw at home to Burnley in the last game very positive. They’d want to improve on that but Portsmouth are winless in 11 straight away matches, losing nine.
