Portsmouth secured a crucial late equalizer against relegation rival Derby County on Saturday, leaving them in a relatively comfortable position with four games remaining. This vital point has placed them just out of immediate danger, but there’s still work to be done.
At Fratton Park, Pompey have proven to be a tough team to beat, having lost only five of their 21 home matches this season. Their remaining away fixtures seem favorable, with trips to Norwich and Sheffield Wednesday—two teams with little to play for at this point in the season. Sheffield Wednesday, in particular, are struggling, having lost their last five matches at Hillsborough.
Although Portsmouth are currently the only team in this four-way relegation battle without a win in their last three games, they’re still in a solid position to gather enough points in the final stretch. With a bit of luck, they should avoid a nerve-wracking final-day showdown with Hull City to secure their place in the league.
