Portsmouth suffered a 3-0 loss to Bristol City in their last game to continue their struggles. The loss followed a 2-1 loss to Watford, and they have now seen one win in their previous five games. However, they are unbeaten in their last four home games, with four wins and a draw. They sit 23rd on the table with 20 points in 22 games, scoring 26 goals and conceding 40. Meanwhile, due to injuries, Jacob Farrell, Jordan Williams, and Harvey Blair are doubtful for this game, while Conor Shaughnessy, Regan Poole, Ibane Bowat, Mark O'Mahony, and Kusini Yengi are all confirmed out.

With the look of things, this game can end in a draw. While Swansea look like the favorite on paper, Portsmouth have remained unbeaten in their last four home games. They have lost just one game in their previous seven games at home. With this and the fact that their last two games ended in a draw, I believe this game will follow that direction.
