West Bromwich vs Portsmouth Prediction
West Bromwich Form
West Bromwich look good before their upcoming match, in which they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Blackburn by 1-0, before drawing 1-1 with Derby. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Wrexham 2-3. West Bromwich won three of their previous six matches at The Hawthorns in the Championship. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring ten goals to nine against.
Portsmouth Form
Portsmouth have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Oxford by 0-1. Disappointment followed, going down 1-2 against Reading, and 1-2 against Norwich. Portsmouth claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches reads nine goals conceded and nine scored.
West Bromwich have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt Portsmouth are capable of getting in the way of the home side at The Hawthorns, as we aim for the home win.
