Recent form
Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn Rovers have experienced a mixed run of form in their recent fixtures, with a notable improvement in their latest outing. The team endured a concerning three-match losing streak in the Championship, failing to score in all three defeats against Sheffield United, Stoke City, and Watford. However, they bounced back impressively with a 3-1 away victory over Cardiff City, which marks their highest-scoring game in this period. Rovers have struggled for goals, netting just four times in their last six matches, with two of those coming in clean sheet victories. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of one goal per game. The majority of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of games seeing under 2.5 goals. Despite their recent wobble, Blackburn have managed to maintain a respectable 9th position in the league table, accumulating 22 points from 15 games.
Portsmouth
Portsmouth's recent form has been inconsistent, with their latest victory against Preston North End providing a much-needed boost. The Pompey have struggled to maintain momentum, alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches. Despite their low position in the league table, they've managed to score in five out of their last six games, demonstrating some attacking prowess. However, their defensive record is a cause for concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight matches. The 3-1 win over Preston stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period, showcasing their potential to find the back of the net. With an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, Portsmouth's games have been relatively unpredictable in terms of scoring. Their goal difference of -1 over the last six games suggests they're competitive but struggling to consistently outscore their opponents.

Recent home/away form
Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn Rovers' recent home form presents an intriguing mix of results. The team enjoyed a strong run of three consecutive victories, including an impressive 3-0 win against Bristol City, before experiencing a dip in form. Their last three home matches have seen a concerning trend, with two back-to-back 2-0 defeats following a goalless draw. Despite this recent downturn, Rovers have maintained a solid defensive record at home, keeping four clean sheets in their last six games. Notably, there's been a stark contrast in their goal-scoring output, with all six of their goals coming in the first three matches of this sequence, followed by three consecutive games without finding the net. The statistics also highlight a tendency towards low-scoring affairs, with 83% of these home games featuring under 2.5 goals.
Portsmouth
Portsmouth's away form has been rather poor recently, with the club struggling to find their footing on the road. The Pompey have endured a challenging run, losing four of their last six away matches in the Championship. Particularly concerning is their defensive record, having conceded a whopping 13 goals in these six games, with no clean sheets to speak of. The 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Stoke City stands out as a particularly heavy defeat. Despite this, Portsmouth have managed to score in four of the six matches, suggesting they can still pose an attacking threat. Their sole away victory came against Queens Park Rangers, offering a glimmer of hope amidst an otherwise difficult period. With an average of three goals per game across these fixtures, Portsmouth's away matches have certainly not lacked excitement for the neutral observer.
