Command Analysis
Current form
Before the start of the season, Portsmouth was considered one of the main candidates for relegation from the Championship and spent most of the first round in the relegation zone. However, John Mosinho team is not a hopeless outsider and currently occupies 22nd place in the table with 26 points. Pompey are behind the saving 21st place only due to additional indicators, but they still have two matches in reserve. In the last round, Portsmouth sensationally beat Middlesbrough 2:1, breaking a series of two defeats in a row.

Portsmouth looked simply great in the last round and managed to take three points in a confrontation with a very serious opponent in the person of Middlesbrough. At home, Pompey traditionally play openly and regularly score - seven of the last eight opponents did not remain dry.
