Portsmouth welcome Blackburn Rovers to Fratton Park in a Championship showdown with high stakes at the bottom end of the table. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Saturday\u2019s encounter (15:00 kick-off) pits two sides desperate for points but heading into the clash with contrasting recent fortunes: Blackburn have dominated recent head-to-heads, while Portsmouth are searching for both form and inspiration to climb out of the relegation zone. With both teams leaking goals, but Blackburn showing the sharper edge in attack, expect a tense and potentially open contest on the South Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
