Portsmouth vs West Brom predictions

Portsmouth have found life tough back in the Championship after claiming 97 points en route to the League One title last season.

Pompey have earned draws against Leeds, Luton and Middlesbrough, all of whom are fancied to be in the promotion conversation this term, while their only defeat came at home to a Sunderland side who went into the international break top of the table, so it would perhaps be a tad harsh to write them off just yet.

Sunday's home date with West Brom is the latest in their tough opening run of fixtures and it will concern manager John Mousinho that Portsmouth's only strike in three league and cup outings at Fratton Park was an own goal from Sunderland's Luke O'Nien.

However, that may give them extra incentive to produce a performance against the Baggies, who have been solid so far.

Carlos Corberan's side remain unbeaten after four games and have already won at QPR and Stoke, so they should see a trip to Pompey as an excellent opportunity to post a third away win.

Striker Josh Maja is the man of the moment for Albion after scoring all three goals in the 3-1 win at Loftus Road and the winner at the bet365 Stadium, and there looks a strong chance that we will see an open game on the south coast on Sunday.

Pompey will be conscious that West Brom have kept just one clean sheet in their last 15 Championship away games, so odds of 10-11 about there being at least three goals could prove generous.

Key stat

Eight of West Brom's last nine Championship away games have featured at least three goals.
