Match Preview

A face-off between Preston North End and Portsmouth is on the horizon at Deepdale in the Championship on February 7th, 2026.

Preston North End, positioned 9th in the standings with 44 points, will host Portsmouth, situated in the 20th position with 33 points.

In their recent performances, Preston North End has encountered difficulties, with 3 losses in their last 6 Championship matches.

In contrast, Portsmouth has shown resilience, securing victories in 50% of their previous 6 matches in the Championship.

Looking at the head-to-head statistics, Preston North End has drawn in 50% of their last 6 encounters against Portsmouth.

Based on these insights, the match between Preston North End and Portsmouth is anticipated to culminate in a 1-1 draw.

Preston looked set to end their winless streak in gameweek 30 with an impressive away win against Ipswich before a stoppage-time Jack Clarke penalty levelled the scoreline. The Lilywhites have dropped to ninth after taking just one point from the last 12 available.

Portsmouth's already-rearranged fixture against Ipswich was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch on Tuesday night, meaning the visitors' most recent league outing remains their dominant 3-0 home win against West Brom. John Mousinho's side have climbed to 20th in the standings after a four-match unbeaten run.
