Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 Sky Bet Championship will see a critical relegation battle six-pointer brewing between Portsmouth and Stoke City. This match at Fratton Park between the 22nd-placed Pompey and the 18th-placed Potters on Wednesday comes with our prediction of a double chance for the visitors.
Portsmouth has 26 points and is in the relegation zone only on goal difference, while Stoke has 28 points, having played a game more than their hosts. Portsmouth won 2-1 at home against Middlesbrough last weekend for their first victory in four matches, having lost the other three.
Their league form is indifferent with four defeats out of the last six games, and they have never won consecutive matches this season. That said, the Pompey have five wins and one draw across their last six home league games and will be confident of their chances here.
Stoke drew 1-1 away at West Brom last weekend, extending their unbeaten run to five matches, winning two and drawing three. Their league form isn’t imposing, but one win and three draws in a row add a bit of stability to their recent results.
That said, Stoke has struggled to win on their last six league trips, drawing and losing three matches each.

Stoke and Portsmouth have only two points separating them as the battle for relegation spots heats up. The visitors have a bit of momentum coming into this fixture, as they bring a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions. The hosts are also coming off a win, a vital 2-1 win over Middlesbrough. They also have a strong record at home, but Stoke has won the previous fixture and could end up winning at least a point here. Our prediction for Portsmouth v Stoke City is a draw or Stoke City win.
