Portsmouth desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 12 at 4:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Portsmouth come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Birmingham City, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Portsmouth and Birmingham City have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (5W–1D–4W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Portsmouth win or a draw looks most likely.
