Recent form
Portsmouth
Portsmouth's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find their footing in the Championship. The Pompey have experienced a challenging stretch, winning only two of their last six matches. Notably, they suffered a run of three consecutive defeats across all competitions before bouncing back with a 2-1 victory against Middlesbrough in their most recent outing. Portsmouth's defensive woes are evident, having conceded 10 goals in their last six games, with a particularly poor run of three straight 3-0 losses. However, their 4-0 thrashing of Swansea on New Year's Day stands out as a high-scoring anomaly in an otherwise difficult period. The team's position of 22nd in the league table reflects their struggles, with goals being hard to come by as they've managed to score just six times in their last six matches. Portsmouth's tendency towards high-scoring affairs is notable, with 67% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals.
Stoke City
Stoke City have shown a mixed bag of form in their recent outings, with a resilient streak emerging despite their lowly 18th position in the Championship. The Potters are currently enjoying a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions, which includes two wins and three draws. Their defensive solidity has been particularly noteworthy, with three clean sheets in their last six games and only four goals conceded during this period. However, Stoke's attacking output remains a concern, having scored just four goals in their last six matches, with 83% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's ability to grind out results is evident, but their struggle to find the back of the net consistently could be a factor in their current league position.

Recent home/away form
Portsmouth
Portsmouth have been in impressive form at home, boasting an unbeaten run of six matches with five wins and one draw. The Pompey have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring a remarkable 16 goals in their last six home games, averaging 2.67 goals per match. Their defensive record has been equally commendable, conceding just three goals in this period and keeping three clean sheets. Notably, Portsmouth are on a current three-match winning streak at home, with two high-scoring affairs: a 4-0 thrashing of Swansea and a 4-1 victory over Coventry City. The team's goal difference of +13 in these six games is testament to their dominant performances, with 83% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals, suggesting exciting, attack-minded football for the Fratton Park faithful.
Stoke City
Stoke City's recent away form has been a cause for concern, with the Potters having endured a challenging run on the road. The team experienced a three-match losing streak in December, conceding two goals in each of those defeats. Their fortunes have somewhat improved in 2025, managing to secure a draw against Burnley and a notable FA Cup victory over Sunderland. However, Stoke's goal-scoring prowess away from home has been lacklustre, averaging less than a goal per game in their last six away matches. Defensively, they've struggled to keep clean sheets, with only one in this period. The team's away performances have contributed to their precarious league position, currently sitting in 18th place in the Championship. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring games in this stretch, the fact that both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches suggests that Stoke City's away games often feature goals at both ends.
