Current streaks

Recent form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been lacklustre, as they find themselves in 23rd position in the Championship with just 8 points from 10 games. Their last six matches have yielded only one win, with three losses and two draws. The Pompey defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding 12 goals in these six games, including a heavy 6-1 defeat to Stoke City. This thrashing stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair and a significant blow to their goal difference. Portsmouth have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only 5 goals in their last 6 matches, averaging less than a goal per game. Their only clean sheet in this run came in a goalless draw against Sheffield United. Despite their poor form, Portsmouth have managed to keep matches relatively competitive, with 67% of their games seeing both teams score and an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent home form has been concerning, with the club failing to secure a victory in their last six matches at Fratton Park. The Pompey have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring a mere two goals in this period, averaging a paltry 0.33 goals per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat more stable, managing two clean sheets, although they've conceded eight goals overall. Their last home win remains elusive, with their most recent fixtures resulting in three draws and three losses. Notably, Portsmouth suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to West Brom and a 3-1 loss to Sunderland, highlighting their vulnerability at the back. The team's goal-scoring drought is particularly worrying, with three of their last six home games ending goalless for the hosts. This poor run of form has contributed to Portsmouth's low league position, currently sitting in 23rd place in the Championship.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches on the road. The Owls have shown resilience, bouncing back from defeats with victories, and have not experienced any extended runs of wins or losses. Their most impressive result came in the League Cup, where they thrashed Grimsby 5-1, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Despite their 18th position in the league, Wednesday have been relatively solid defensively away from home, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. The team's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting exciting encounters for fans travelling to support the side.
