Bitesize Prediction: Portsmouth vs Plymouth Argyle – 12/03/25

Competition: Championship

Market: Portsmouth win

Odds: 19/20 @ Pribet

Looking to extend on their remarkable Championship flurry, Portsmouth will welcome Plymouth to Fratton Park on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Portsmouth might have opened the New Year pencilled in as a leading contender to be hit with an immediate League One return, John Mousinho’s men have come roaring back in a sensational fashion. Last seen over the weekend putting in a stellar display as they clinched a 1-0 victory against Leeds, the Blues find the mood around Fratton Park at a red-hot high. Skyrocketing their way up the Championship standings, Pompey are now dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine play-off charge. Smelling a golden opportunity to extend on their purple patch on Wednesday night, Mousinho’s side have now registered 12 points from their previous five Championship appearances. Signing off February with a 2-1 win against QPR, Portsmouth will also be excited by their extended success on home soil. In fact, the midweek hosts have won their last three showdowns at Fratton Park by an aggregate score of 5-2.

As for the visitors, although Plymouth might have sprung an almighty FA Cup upset back on February 9th as they secured an iconic 1-0 victory against Premier League giants Liverpool, the Pilgrims have endured a major Championship struggle. Despite dragging themselves over the finishing line last season as they kept hold of their second-tier status, Wednesday’s guests are pencilled in as a landslide relegation contender in 2025. Sat rock-bottom of the Championship table, Plymouth open the midweek fixtures six points adrift of safety and with time really starting to tick away. Last seen putting in another worrying display as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at home against Sheffield Wednesday, Miron Muslic’s side have now lost all of their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 8-1. It should also be noted, Plymouth have not recorded a single Championship victory on away from Home Park so far this season.
