Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers both need a lift at the wrong end of the Championship table, and Fratton Park hosts a tight-looking affair on Saturday. Pompey drew a blank at Charlton last time out, while Blackburn beat Millwall 3-1.

Anthony Eadson’s Portsmouth vs Blackburn predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson expects goals at both ends at Fratton Park.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Both teams to score5/6 (bet365)Blackburn are a goals machine in both directions, having hit both teams to score in six of their seven games so far this season. Portsmouth are hardly watertight themselves, having conceded in four of their six matches and looking anything but solid at Fratton Park. With one side almost guaranteeing goals at both ends and the other happy to trade blows, the pattern strongly favours both teams finding the net here. At better than even money, backing both to score is comfortably the standout angle in a game between two open sides.
Abu Kamara to score anytime10/3 (bet365)With goals expected at both ends, Portsmouth’s most dangerous runner is worth chancing in the anytime market. Abu Kamara is the pacy wide threat Pompey look to on the counter, and against a Blackburn side that has hit both teams to score in six of seven and defends deep at times, the openings will be there. First-choice striker aside, Kamara is one of the hosts’ likeliest scorers, and at 10/3 he offers genuine value in a fixture set up for goals at Fratton Park.
