Recent form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to maintain momentum in the Championship. They have lost three of their last four matches, including a heavy 5-1 defeat to West Brom, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Despite this poor run, Portsmouth did manage to secure back-to-back wins against Stoke City and Middlesbrough in January, showing glimpses of potential. Their defensive record is concerning, having conceded 10 goals in their last six games, with only one clean sheet during this period. The team's position of 20th in the league table reflects their struggles, with an average of just one point per game from their 30 matches played. Interestingly, 67% of Portsmouth's recent matches have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, suggesting their games tend to be entertaining affairs for neutral spectators.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, three draws, and one loss. The Bluebirds have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, most notably a 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Leeds United and a 3-3 draw with Stoke City in the FA Cup. Their goal-scoring prowess is evident, averaging 1.83 goals per game, but their defence has been leaky, conceding 2.33 goals per match. Cardiff's matches have been particularly entertaining for neutrals, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of fixtures. Despite these goal-laden affairs, the Welsh side have managed only one clean sheet in their last six outings, contributing to their current 19th position in the Championship table.

Recent home/away form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth have shown impressive home form recently, with a notable run of four consecutive victories before their most recent two matches. During this winning streak, Pompey were particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 13 times in six games and averaging 2.17 goals per match. Their defensive record has also been solid, conceding just 0.67 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. The standout performances came against Swansea and Coventry City, where Portsmouth netted four goals in each match, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Despite their recent strong home form, it's worth noting that Portsmouth are currently in 20th position in the Championship, highlighting a potential disparity between their home and away performances. The team's last two home fixtures have seen a slight dip in form, with a draw against Burnley and a narrow loss to Millwall, but their overall home record remains encouraging.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have shown mixed form away from home in their recent fixtures, with a notable resilience in avoiding defeat in five out of their last six away matches. The Bluebirds have managed to score in each of these games, demonstrating their attacking capabilities on the road. However, their defensive record has been a concern, conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game. A particularly alarming result was their recent 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Leeds United, which significantly inflated their goals conceded tally. On a more positive note, Cardiff have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their away matches featuring over 2.5 goals, providing entertainment for neutral spectators. Their ability to secure draws, including a 3-3 thriller against Stoke City in the FA Cup, highlights their fighting spirit away from home.
