Match Facts

  • Portsmouth have won just one of their last ten league games against Middlesbrough (D6 L3), a 2-1 victory at Fratton Park in September 2008 in the Premier League.

  • Five of the last six league games between Middlesbrough and Portsmouth have finished in draws, with Boro winning the other 3-1 in March 2012 courtesy of goals from Barry Robson, Matthew Bates and Marvin Emnes.

  • Portsmouth are unbeaten in their last five home league games (W4 D1), scoring three or more goals in their four wins during that spell; Pompey could score 4+ goals in three straight matches at Fratton Park for the first time since October 1979.

  • Middlesbrough have drawn four of their last five league games (W1), as many stalemates as across their previous 24 Championship matches (W12 L8).

  • No teenager has been directly involved in more Championship goals so far this season than Middlesbrough’s Ben Doak (2 goals, 6 assists); in fact, the Liverpool loanee also has the most assists across that same cohort in England’s top four tiers in 2024-25 (6).
