Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 04/10/2025

After failing to win the previous four league matches, Portsmouth will look to return to winning ways in the Championship when they face Middlesbrough on Matchday 9. The Pompey are hungry for victories, but they will have a big fish to fry against the promotion-chasing visitors. The likes of Lang, Schmid, Shaughnessy, and Waddingham remain in the recovery room, while duo Murphy – Umeh will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. The Boro, on the other hand, are determined to return to the Premier League and it seems as if the fans can feel the players’ desire to meet the goal. Given Portsmouth’s defensive struggles and Middlesbrough’s fine start to the season, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Rob Edwards’ troops. Speaking of the away team, all Seny Dieng, Darragh Lenihan, and Riley McGree are out of contention with injuries.
