Portsmouth 0-0 Burnley

Current streaks

Recent form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been notably poor, with the team currently languishing in 21st position in the Championship. The Pompey have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven matches and conceding a worrying average of 2.17 goals per game over their previous six fixtures. Their 5-1 defeat to West Brom stands out as a particularly heavy loss, contributing significantly to their -7 goal difference in this period. While Portsmouth have managed to score in four of their last six games, their offensive output of one goal per game hasn't been enough to offset their defensive frailties. The team's inconsistency is evident in their alternating pattern of two losses followed by two wins and then two more losses, with their FA Cup exit to Wycombe adding to their woes. With 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals, Portsmouth's games have been high-scoring affairs, albeit often not in their favour.

Burnley

Burnley are in impressive form, currently sitting third in the Championship and unbeaten in their last 17 matches across all competitions. The Clarets have shown remarkable defensive solidity, keeping five clean sheets in their last six games and conceding just one goal during this period. Their recent 5-0 away victory against Plymouth Argyle stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter, demonstrating their attacking prowess. However, Burnley's recent run has been characterised by a mix of wins and draws, with three of their last six matches ending in goalless stalemates. This suggests that while they are difficult to beat, they may be struggling to consistently find the back of the net in league fixtures. Despite this, their goal difference of +8 over the last six games indicates a team that is both offensively capable and defensively sound when considered over a longer period.

Recent home/away form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth have shown impressive form at home recently, with a notable run of four consecutive wins prior to their most recent defeat against Millwall. Their goal-scoring prowess has been particularly striking, with the Pompey netting 13 goals in their last six home matches, including two high-scoring 4-1 victories against Coventry City and Swansea. Despite their current 21st position in the league, Portsmouth's home form suggests they're punching above their weight, boasting an average of 2.17 goals scored per game whilst conceding just 0.67. The team have also managed to keep two clean sheets during this period, demonstrating a solid defensive foundation. With 67% of these matches featuring over 2.5 goals, Portsmouth's home fixtures have been providing entertaining, high-scoring affairs for their supporters.

Burnley

Burnley have been in exceptional form away from home, showcasing an impressive unbeaten run in their last six away fixtures. The Clarets have secured five victories and one draw during this period, demonstrating their resilience on the road. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with four clean sheets in these six matches and only two goals conceded overall. Burnley's attacking display has been equally impressive, netting 13 goals at an average of 2.17 per game. The standout performance came in their most recent away match, a commanding 5-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle, which highlights their potential for high-scoring encounters. This run of form has contributed significantly to their strong league position, sitting third with 57 points from 29 games. The team's ability to consistently perform away from home bodes well for their promotion aspirations in the Championship.
