Bottom-of-the-league Portsmouth heads north on Saturday to face 15th-placed Hull in a Championship match. Pompey is struggling after last season’s promotion, while the Tigers sit comfortably in mid-table. Here’s our prediction for the game.
Hull has had a tough time at home, with only QPR and Portsmouth winning fewer games this season. They’ve managed one win, three draws, and two losses at the MKM Stadium, scoring six goals—four of which came in a single match against Cardiff.
Defensively, Hull has been solid, conceding just six goals, with losses only to top teams Sunderland and Sheffield United. This matchup presents a more favorable challenge.
Portsmouth has scored nine goals in six away games, but they’ve struggled defensively, allowing 16 goals—the highest in the Championship on the road. Their only league win came at QPR on October 19, but they’ve also secured draws against Leeds and Middlesbrough, showing they can compete when at their best.
