The best opening of the Championship this season to date belongs to Middlesbrough. In eight round, they have been able to clinch five wins and three draws to be placed at the top with a two-point lead with Coventry being placed second. They have a strong attack and defense this season and this cohesion is an excellent morale booster for the team.
Portsmouth do not appear to be that powerful to provide a competitive display against this Middlesbrough team. They are currently on their fourth game losing streak and lost two within the timeframe. Not only that, their hapless defense line conceded two apiece in the last three league games consecutively.
Middlesbrough have an upper hand in the latest meetings as they won three, drew five and lost two of their last 10 matches against Portsmouth. Even away from home, Middlesbrough was winless in three of the last five encounters versus Portsmouth. Thus, a close test awaits the hosts Portsmouth on Saturday at Fratton park.
Whereas the rest of the teams will show a slim opportunity with the home support, Portsmouth is distinct because they have only won one of the previous five games. Three losses surrendered during that time makes it even more difficult for the visitors to the in-form Middlesbrough team.
Also, Middlesbrough enjoys a four-match unbeaten league road trips. Portsmouth has something to look forward to from this game. The Middlesbrough backline hasn’t been solid on the road and this is their biggest flaw.
But only one or at best two from Portsmouth is hardly likely to influence the Middlesbrough winning likelihood. We are praying for an away victory at Fratton Park this Saturday. The goaling trend of both guarantees a goal-fest and this provides scope for the over 2.5 goals and both teams to score market.
