Portsmouth vs Norwich Prediction (16.08.2025)

Portsmouth started the new season with a minimal victory over Oxford, once again demonstrating their solid defense and pragmatic style. The team has a habit of achieving the necessary in low-scoring matches, as confirmed by the fact that in eight of their last ten games, they have had under 2.5 goals. At home, they will seek another success against Norwich, but probably without taking unnecessary risks.

The guests lost at the start of the season to Milwall and are still looking for their optimal form under the new manager. They concede goals in most of their matches and have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight games in the Championship. Furthermore, in five of their last six direct clashes with Portsmouth, there have also been under 2.5 goals, indicating a similar scenario.

Expectations are for a tight match with few goals, in which both teams will rely more on defensive security than open play. Portsmouth's form in such matches and the statistics from previous encounters lean towards a prediction of under 2.5 goals.
