BetGenius backs Portsmouth or Draw (Double Chance) at 68% confidence — a solid call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
Portsmouth welcome Blackburn to Fratton Park with only one point separating the sides in the lower half of the Championship table. The hosts enter the clash in 18th position with seven points from six matches, looking to build upon a 2-0 home victory against Cardiff in their previous league fixture.
Blackburn sit 16th with eight points from seven games but travel south in the middle of a difficult run of form. The visitors have failed to record a victory in their last five matches, suffering four 2-1 defeats alongside a 0-0 draw at Lincoln, and are yet to win on their travels this season with two draws and one loss away from Ewood Park.
Recent head-to-head encounters at Fratton Park favour the home side, with Portsmouth winning the last two Championship clashes in Portsmouth by 2-1 and 1-0 scorelines. With both squads dealing with multiple fitness concerns and Blackburn struggling to turn performances into points away from home, a tight contest is expected.
Combined scoring rate: 2.9 goals per game (Portsmouth at home plus Blackburn away).
