Burnley vs Portsmouth Prediction

Burnley Form

Burnley have seen it all in their last three matches. First, they went down 2-0 against Wolverhampton, before picking up a 1-1 draw against Blackburn. Their latest match brought a 0-1 win in their encounter with Leeds. Burnley claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Championship. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored 12 and conceded three goals.

Burnley would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.

In their previous three games, Portsmouth drew 2-2 with Middlesbrough, then lost 1-3 against Sunderland and 0-3 against West Bromwich. Portsmouth claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Championship. They also drew three and were defeated two times, as they were outscored by 14 goals to 11.

Burnley would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.

While we don't believe Portsmouth are strong enough to prevent The Clarets from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.

Burnley claimed three wins, one draw as well as one defeat in the Championship this season. Portsmouth have a record of zero wins, three draws and two defeats in the Championship.
