General match analysis
Portsmouth have a clearly better record over their last five matches, collecting 7 points compared with Blackburn’s 4, while the hosts have conceded only 5 goals in that period against 7 for their opponents. At home, Portsmouth create significantly more chances, averaging 17.67 shots and an xG of 1.86, whereas Blackburn record just 10 shots and an xG of 1.20 away from home. The visitors are slightly more efficient defensively by the numbers, conceding 1.33 goals per away match compared with Portsmouth’s 1.67 at home, but they have not won any away fixture and ended as many as 67% of those games in a draw. Both teams average 1 goal in their respective conditions, but the hosts’ advantage in chance creation and Blackburn’s weaker current form, with three defeats in their last five matches, slightly favor Portsmouth. A draw remains a realistic scenario due to Blackburn’s high number of away draws and the fact that both sides do not always convert the chances they create.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The BTTS signal is positive because Portsmouth have seen both teams score in 100% of their matches so far, while Blackburn have recorded BTTS in 67%, identical to the league average. The hosts are yet to keep a single clean sheet and concede an average of 1.50 goals, which significantly increases Blackburn’s chances of scoring. Portsmouth score an average of 1.75 goals at home, register 4.0 shots on target per match, and face a Blackburn defense conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. In their last five matches, both teams created chances worth 1.52 and 1.49 xG respectively, while their average goals conceded stood at 1.0 and 1.4. The risk to the pick comes from Blackburn’s 33% clean-sheet rate and Portsmouth’s BTTS rate of only 40% in their last five appearances, but the overall match profile still favors both teams scoring.
