Portsmouth desperately need points on Saturday, Apr 3 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). Middlesbrough, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Portsmouth here — they've won 4 of 10 previous meetings against Middlesbrough, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Middlesbrough won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Middlesbrough's quality should tell even on the road. Portsmouth will push, but the visitors have too much class. Middlesbrough to win.
