Portsmouth F.C. suffered a 0-3 defeat to Sheffield United F.C. in the last round, with only 1 win in their last 8 matches, hitting rock bottom in form. Their offense has been mediocre, scoring only 5 goals in the last 5 games, while their defense has been virtually non-existent, conceding 11 goals in the same period. Their home record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses, with a 33.3% win rate, fails to provide any advantage. Additionally, their historical record of 3 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses in 13 encounters puts them at a psychological disadvantage, leaving the team with little confidence for this match.

However, their offensive firepower this season, with 25 goals and an average of 1.47 goals per game, remains solid. Comparatively, their overall performance in both offense and defense is more competitive, making Bristol City the favored side to secure at least a draw away from home.
