Portsmouth vs Burnley Prediction

Portsmouth are underdogs because of Burnley's superior form and quality. The hosts will hope to force a draw but will have to put up a strong defensive display.

Burnley should comfortably get a result when they take the trip to Portsmouth and extend their unbeaten run. They will, however, need to pose more of an attacking threat than they have done so in recent games to ensure all three points.

Prediction: Portsmouth 0-1 Burnley
