Bristol City vs Portsmouth

Current streaks

Recent form

Bristol City

Bristol City's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the team alternating between wins, losses, and draws in their last six matches. The Robins have shown resilience at home, securing a notable 4-0 victory against Plymouth Argyle and most recently defeating Luton Town 1-0. However, their away form has been less impressive, suffering a 3-0 loss to Portsmouth and a 2-0 defeat to West Brom. The team have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six games, which is a positive sign defensively. Their goal difference over this period is balanced at zero, with 7 goals scored and 7 conceded, averaging 1.17 goals both for and against per game. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the club currently sitting in 20th position in the Championship. Despite their low league standing, Pompey have shown flashes of attacking prowess, netting 10 goals in their last six matches, including a convincing 4-1 victory over Coventry City. Defensively, they've been somewhat inconsistent, conceding nine goals in the same period, with a particularly heavy 4-0 defeat away to Derby County. Portsmouth have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six games, but their tendency towards high-scoring affairs is evident, with 83% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals. The team's inability to string together consecutive wins has hindered their progress, although they've avoided any prolonged losing streaks. Their recent 3-0 win against Bristol City and the 4-1 triumph over Coventry demonstrate Portsmouth's potential when they're at their best, but consistency remains a challenge for the south coast side.

Despite their inconsistent results, Bristol City have managed to maintain a positive goal difference of 3 over these six matches, indicating a competitive edge in their home performances.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's away form has been particularly poor, with the Pompey failing to secure a victory in their last six away matches. They are currently on a concerning run of three consecutive away defeats, having lost to Watford, Derby County, and Plymouth Argyle. The most notable result in this sequence was the heavy 4-0 loss to Derby County, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Portsmouth have struggled to find the back of the net on their travels, managing just four goals in these six matches, whilst conceding a worrying 12 goals. Their defensive frailties are evident, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these away games. With an average of 2.67 total goals per game, Portsmouth's away matches have been relatively eventful, with half of them seeing both teams score and an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals.
