Portsmouth vs Blackburn Prediction 19 September 2026
🔊 At the start of the season, Portsmouth and Blackburn sit in the bottom half of the table but remain in contention for promotion. In their last ten matches, both sides have won three and lost five, which reflects their inconsistency over that run. Blackburn have shown slightly better average scoring numbers, and their recent results point to matches involving them frequently producing goals at both ends. The visitors have stronger motivation in terms of the standings, though the stage of the season is not yet pushing either side towards critical decisions.

Head-to-head statistics Portsmouth - Blackburn
Portsmouth Team Overview
Portsmouth have played six matches and sit in the lower half of the table with seven points. Over their last five games they have won two, lost two and drawn one, which reflects inconsistent form with no clear run of results in either direction. They are averaging 1.17 goals scored per match, though their defence looks less reliable, with opponents scoring against them at around 1.33 per game.
Across a ten-match stretch, their attack has also rarely gone beyond one or two goals - they have won just three times in that period, and the overall picture is one that leans more towards defensive problems than attacking ones.

Blackburn Rovers Team Overview
After seven matches played, Blackburn have eight points and sit just above their opponents in the table. Their last five matches have been inconsistent: two wins alternating with two defeats and a draw, with a positive result followed by a dip just one game later.
Their scoring numbers are more stable, though: an average of 1.43 goals scored per game against 1.43 conceded, which suggests a tendency towards open matches with chances at both ends.

Corners Prediction
Portsmouth have had fewer than 6.5 corners in 12 of their last 14 Championship matches. On top of that, they have reached 7 or more corners in only one of their last seven matches. This points to a fairly consistent low corner count. We're backing Portsmouth Team Total Corners - Under 6.5 at 1.48*.
Reliable Bet
Blackburn have scored in 8 of their last 9 matches, which points to consistent attacking output. Portsmouth have also conceded an average of 1.5 goals per game in their last 10 home matches, which further supports the case for the visitors to score. We're backing Blackburn Team Total - Over 0.5 at 1.44*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 1-0 (13.59%), 1-1 (11.55%) and 0-1 (11.26%). These results are led by a narrow win for either side, along with a low-scoring draw. All three outcomes carry similar probabilities, pointing to a relatively even contest with a moderate number of goals.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The Both Teams to Score trend is supported by Blackburn's regular involvement in high-scoring matches - they have scored and conceded in eight of their last nine games across all competitions. Both sides' attacking output sits at a moderate level (between 1 and nearly 1.5 goals), while the defences of both teams have been prone to errors, particularly when looking at each club's last ten matches. Both sides' league positions require them to pick up points to stay close to the promotion places, which reduces the likelihood of overly cautious football at this early stage of the season and supports a match where both teams have chances in front of goal. The main prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 2-1.
