Data provided by

Burnley vs Portsmouth pits two sides heading in opposite directions at Turf Moor on Saturday 31 October, a 3.00pm kick-off with the hosts still chasing a first home win of the Championship season.

The Clarets sit 22nd and remain winless on their own patch, while Portsmouth travel up in good heart after a third win in four. Our Burnley vs Portsmouth predictions and best bets are below, with Anthony Eadson running through two picks and the form that backs them.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson has looked over the Burnley vs Portsmouth odds and come away with two selections at a fair price.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Portsmouth or draw (double chance)8/11 (Betfred)Portsmouth have the better numbers to avoid defeat here. Burnley are still searching for a first home win, with four draws and two losses at Turf Moor, while Pompey have lost just twice in six away games and conceded only five goals on their travels. The visitors have won three of their last four and carry far more belief than a Burnley team sitting 22nd. Taking Portsmouth in the double chance at 8/11 with Betfred, covering the draw as well as the away win, looks a solid foundation against a host side that cannot win at home.
Marko Milovanovic to be carded10/3 (Ladbrokes)Marko Milovanovic has been booked three times in ten league appearances, joint most in the Portsmouth squad, and has committed 12 fouls despite starting only five games. A physical centre-forward who battles centre-backs for every high ball, he is likely to be in the thick of it against a Burnley defence that has conceded 25 goals and will be desperate for a first home win. Burnley’s centre-backs will be up for the fight, and 10/3 with Ladbrokes for a Milovanovic card has real appeal.

How Burnley go into the game

Burnley have endured a torrid start and sit 22nd, with just eight points from a solitary win, five draws and six defeats. The Clarets were thumped 4-1 at Lincoln City last time out, a chastening afternoon that followed a 2-1 home loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Before that they drew 2-2 at home with Charlton Athletic, won 4-0 at Watford and were held to a 1-1 home draw by Derby County.

For all their struggles the hosts have scored in every game this season, so the attack is ticking over. The problem is at the back, and at Turf Moor Burnley are still waiting for a first home win, with four draws and two defeats from six and 25 conceded across the campaign.

How Portsmouth go into the game

Portsmouth travel to Lancashire in good heart, sitting 11th with 18 points from five wins, three draws and four defeats. Pompey beat Millwall 2-1 at Fratton Park last time out, a third win in four, after a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers. That run also took in a 1-0 victory at Norwich City and a 3-2 home win over Sheffield United, with the only blip a 1-0 defeat at Southampton.

Away from Fratton Park the visitors have been well organised, winning two, drawing two and losing two of six while conceding just five. That tight defending on the road is the foundation of this pick, and it makes them a hard team to beat even at a venue where Burnley will fancy a rare home success.

There is little recent history to lean on, with the pair meeting just twice in the league in the last couple of seasons. Burnley are unbeaten in both, winning 2-1 at Turf Moor in September 2024 and drawing 0-0 at Fratton Park in February 2025. Portsmouth are still waiting for a first win over the Clarets in this run.
