Our Portsmouth vs Swansea City predictions for tonight’s 7.45pm (UK time) kick-off back Swansea City and both teams to score at 9/2 (bet365), with our score prediction Portsmouth 1-2 Swansea City. Portsmouth welcome second-placed Swansea City to Fratton Park at 7.45pm on Tuesday, with the hosts unbeaten in five and the Welsh side chasing automatic promotion.

Our Portsmouth vs Swansea City predictions and betting tips lean towards the in-form visitors, who have the firepower to win a lively game on the south coast. Anthony Eadson still expects Portsmouth to find the net in front of their own supporters, so there should be goals to enjoy at both ends.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson fancies Swansea City to come through a tricky night on the coast and has gone for a result-and-goals angle and a card that fit the shape of the game.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Swansea City and both teams to score9/2 (bet365)Our score prediction is 1-2 to Swansea City, who travel well, winning four of their six away games. However, Portsmouth are unbeaten in five and have kept just four clean sheets, shipping 15 goals this season, so goals at both ends look likely. Top scorer Adam Idah is expected to start on the bench, so we have backed the result rather than a scorer. As a result, 9/2 with bet365 is a big price for a game we expect Swansea to win.
Jay Fulton to be carded27/10 (Ladbrokes)Jay Fulton is exactly the type to catch a referee’s eye in a feisty midweek contest, a combative Swansea City midfielder who throws himself into challenges. Portsmouth versus Swansea has a proper edge to it. In addition, Fratton Park is a hostile place to visit, and big games tend to produce cards. As a result, 27/10 for a Fulton card clears our threshold. That price also reflects his style and the likely temperature under the lights.

How Portsmouth go into the game

Portsmouth sit 11th in the Championship on 19 points and arrive unbeaten in their last five, a run of three wins and two draws that has steadied their season. A goalless draw at Burnley last time out extended that sequence, even if it lacked the spark of the wins before it.

Fratton Park has been a fortress of sorts, with three wins, one draw and two defeats on home soil, and Portsmouth will fancy their chances against anyone there. They have scored 16 goals and conceded 15 across the campaign, so goals at both ends have been a feature of their nights.

How Swansea City go into the game

Swansea City travel to the south coast sitting second in the Championship on 26 points, firmly in the automatic promotion race. They thrashed Blackburn Rovers 4-0 at home last time out, a result that underlined their promotion credentials.

On the road the Swans have been excellent, winning four of their six away games, and they have found the net 20 times this season. They have shipped 10 goals in their six games on the road, though. Even so, they have still kept six clean sheets in all.
