Portsmouth are winless in their last two matches which have seen them also fail to score
Coventry have lost just three of their last ten fixtures
Coventry’s last two victories have both come by a single-goal margin
Things looking up for Sky Blues
Frank Lampard has secured two wins and a draw in his opening four fixtures as Coventry boss with the only loss coming against playoff chasing West Brom and the Sky Blues we predict even brighter times ahead for the Sky Blues who can secure a low-scoring win over Portsmouth.
Cov came from behind to beat Hull 2-1 last Saturday and their last two victories have come by a single-goal margin.
Their last two meetings with Pompey have seen Coventry claim four points from a 1-0 win and a 3-3 draw and repeat of the former is our prediction for this latest encounter.
Pompey revival looks to be faltering
Portsmouth are languishing in the bottom three of the Championship but their position improved with a four-game unbeaten streak between the start of November and the beginning of December, but their revival looks to have hit the skids and they are winless in their last two fixtures, while also failing to score.
And their 4-0 hammering at Derby last time out suggests another period of struggle could be on the way so an edgy Coventry win while keeping the draw on side is prediction.
Neither side can be backed with too match conviction so keep the draw on side, and a 1-0 away win looks the best option for correct score punters.
