Blackburn Rovers vs Portsmouth Predictions

• Portsmouth have lost their last five away games
• The visitors have been beaten in eight of 13 league trips
• Rovers have picked up seven victories at home this term

Pompey set for another away defeat

Blackburn are winless in their last five league games, but they bounced back with a 1-0 victory at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on Saturday. Rovers are backed to build on that win this midweek, when they host a Portsmouth side who are poor on the road.

The visitors have lost eight of their 13 Championship trips so far, while they were beaten 2-0 at League One Wycombe in the FA Cup on Friday night. That loss means Pompey have been beaten in each of their last five on the road, shipping 12 goals and scoring just once.

The visitors have made six visits to the top nine in the division, picking up just two draws and suffering four defeats. They’re headed to a Blackburn side who have conceded less than a goal per game this season, while the hosts have built their playoff push on some good home form, picking up seven victories at Ewood Park so far.

Relegation-battling Portsmouth look outmatched here, so back Blackburn to secure all three points.
