Stoke vs Portsmouth Prediction

Stoke Form

A single point is all Stoke can show for their efforts in the past three matches. They managed a 1-1 draw with Fleetwood, before getting trounced 1-3 against Hull while Middlesbrough won 2-0. Stoke won three of their previous six matches at Bet365 Stadium in the Championship. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring 12 goals to seven against.

Portsmouth Form

A single draw prevents Portsmouth from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 0-3 and 2-1 against West Bromwich and Burnley, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 0-0 draw against Sheffield United. 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 12.

Stoke need to show they are capable of rising to the occasion after the recent setbacks, losing their previous two matches. We favour them to get a real boost of out playing in front of their home crowd and to claim a win.

Stoke recorded three points following one wins from their last one games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored one goals, but also conceded zero. Stoke claimed two wins, zero draws as well as five defeats in the Championship this season. Portsmouth are yet to win this season, having played seven games, in stead showing off four draws and three defeats.
