West Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth go head-to-head at the Hawthorns in round 29 of EFL Championship on Saturday. John Mousinho’s men have failed to win their last six away matches across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.

West Bromwich Albion failed to find their feet on Tuesday as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

West Brom have picked up 41 points from 28 Championship games to sit seventh in the league table, one point behind sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers in the final playoff spot.

On the other hand, Portsmouth secured consecutive victories for the first time this season as they edged out Stoke City 3-1 on Wednesday. This followed a 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough on January 18, a result which saw their run of three consecutive defeats across all competitions come to an end.

With 29 points from 27 matches, Portsmouth are currently 18th in the Championship standings, three points above the relegation zone, albeit with one game in hand.
