Norwich vs Portsmouth Prediction & Tips
Norwich’s chances of relegation are minimal, as are their chances of getting into the playoffs, but the team will undoubtedly try their best to keep fighting for a place in the top 6 and finish the season in a higher position. They currently occupy 13th place with 53 points, and the distance from both the relegation zone and the playoffs is 10 points, making their position relatively safe.
In the last game, Norwich lost to Burnley, one of the Championship leaders, 2-1 away, and before that, the team drew 0-0 with Sunderland at home. At home, Norwich are much more confident, having lost only once in their last 5 matches.
Portsmouth are 19th in the league table with 46 points and are fighting for relegation from the Championship. In the last five matches, the team has one win, one draw and three defeats. Portsmouth have not won in three consecutive matches: last time out the team drew 2-2 with Derby County, and before that they suffered two defeats, to Coventry 0-1 and Millwall 1-2.
On the away side, the situation for Portsmouth is quite complicated: the team loses almost all its away matches, which is confirmed by the statistics: 15 defeats, 4 draws and only 2 wins in 21 away matches this season. Problems in attack and defence in away games make Portsmouth extremely vulnerable, especially in away games like this one. Only 4 points separate them from the relegation zone, and every point is now critically important.
