Head-to-Head Analysis
Recent Encounters
| Date | Competition | Home Team | Score | Away Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08 Feb 2025 | Championship | Sheffield United FC | 2 - 1 | Portsmouth FC |
| 28 Sep 2024 | Championship | Portsmouth FC | 0 - 0 | Sheffield United FC |
Looking at the recent history between these two clubs, we find two prior encounters from the 2024-2025 Championship season:
- February 8, 2025: Sheffield United (Home) 2 – 1 Portsmouth (Away)
- September 28, 2024: Portsmouth (Home) 0 – 0 Sheffield United (Away)
The most recent fixture saw Sheffield United secure a narrow 2-1 victory at home. Before that, the teams played out a goalless draw. These results suggest that matches between Sheffield United and Portsmouth tend to be closely contested and not typically high-scoring affairs.
Our Prediction
Considering the current league form and head-to-head history, a compelling picture emerges. Both Sheffield United and Portsmouth are among the league’s lowest scorers this season, averaging less than a goal per game. While Sheffield United won their last home fixture against Portsmouth, their overall goal difference of -12 this season indicates a team that struggles to score and often concedes. Portsmouth’s record of 5 draws further suggests a cautious approach to games.
Given the defensive frailties of both sides combined with their struggles to consistently find the back of the net, this match is unlikely to be a goal-fest. The previous two encounters yielded only 3 and 0 goals respectively. Expect a tight, hard-fought contest with limited attacking fireworks.
