Portsmouth 3-0 Bristol City

Current streaks

Recent form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been a cause for concern, with the club currently languishing in 24th position in the Championship. Their last six matches have yielded only one win, two draws, and three losses, indicating a struggle to find consistency. Notably, Portsmouth have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine games, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. The team's goal-scoring record is also modest, averaging just 1.17 goals per game in their last six outings. However, there is some entertainment value for spectators, as both teams have scored in 67% of these matches, with an average of 2.67 total goals per game. Their most recent fixture, a 2-2 draw against Swansea, was their highest-scoring game in this period, suggesting potential for improvement in attack. Despite their poor league position, Portsmouth have shown some resilience, avoiding any extended losing streaks beyond two games in this sample.

Bristol City

Bristol City have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with an even split of three wins and three losses in their last six games. The Robins have demonstrated an impressive attacking prowess, netting 10 goals in these fixtures, including a notable 4-0 thrashing of Plymouth Argyle in their most recent outing. Defensively, they've been fairly solid, conceding only 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. Their goal difference of +5 over these six matches is commendable, particularly considering their mid-table position of 11th in the Championship. Interestingly, Bristol City's matches have been evenly split between high-scoring affairs and tighter encounters, with 50% of games seeing over 2.5 goals. The team has also shown resilience on the road, securing impressive away victories against both Norwich and Preston.

Recent home/away form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with their latest victory against Preston North End breaking a concerning run of five matches without a win at Fratton Park. The Pompey have struggled defensively, conceding 10 goals in their last six home games, including a heavy 3-0 defeat to West Brom. Their attacking output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game during this period. However, matches at Fratton Park have tended to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their poor league position, Portsmouth have shown some resilience, managing to secure draws against Sheffield United and Oxford United. The recent win against Preston could potentially signal a turning point in their home form, but the team will need to address their defensive frailties if they hope to climb up the Championship table.

Bristol City

Bristol City have shown impressive form away from home in recent matches, with their latest defeat at Watford ending a five-game unbeaten run on the road. The Robins have been particularly strong defensively, conceding just five goals in their last six away fixtures, with two clean sheets to their name. Their attacking prowess has also been noteworthy, scoring 10 goals in these games, including a high-scoring 3-1 victory at Preston. Bristol City's ability to find the net consistently, averaging 1.67 goals per away game, has been a key factor in their success. Despite their mid-table position, the team's away form suggests they could be dark horses in the Championship, with their solid goal difference of +5 and tendency to keep matches tight, as evidenced by 67% of their away games featuring under 2.5 goals.
