Blackburn Rovers v Portsmouth Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Wednesday 15th January 2025
Blackburn will look to boost their promotion bid with a win over Portsmouth in the Championship tonight, while Pompey’s principal aim will be to climb out of the relegation zone.
Disappointing run of form
Since their six-match winning run in the Championship came to an end with a 1-0 defeat to Millwall, Blackburn Rovers have been enduring a disappointing run of form with stalemates against Sunderland and Leeds United coming either side of a 1-0 defeat at home to Hull City, followed by defeat to local rivals Burnley at Wood Park in their most recent home outing. Nevertheless, John Eustace’s troops bounced back from this disappointment by edging past fellow Championship side Middlesbrough 1-0 in the third round of the FA Cup last time out and having booked their place in the next round of the competition, Rovers will turn their attention back to their faltering Championship campaign.
Focus on Championship campaign
Portsmouth’s FA Cup third round outing ended in disappointment when they lost 2-0 to League One side Wycombe Wanderers, however this at least gives Pompey the opportunity to fully focus on their Championship campaign. Having won just 5 of their 24 league games, the south-coast side sit third from bottom in the league standings with 23 points to their name, while they have won just one of their thirteen away games whilst on Championship duty this season. Pompey have failed to beat Blackburn Rovers since 2008 (3-2 in the Premier League) and given that Rovers have triumphed in all-but-one of their last five against Portsmouth, we’ll be siding the way of the hosts this evening.
Back Blackburn Rovers to win and both teams to score at best odds of 3/1
