Portsmouth desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 5 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). West Bromwich Albion, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Portsmouth and West Bromwich Albion have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Portsmouth won 3–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Portsmouth a slight edge, but West Bromwich Albion are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
