Portsmouth vs Leeds United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

37 points separate the two sides on the points table.

Matchday 36 of the EFL Championship will feature Portsmouth hosting Leeds United at Fratton Park. The Pompey are currently placed 17th in the league table with just 39 points from 35 games. They were facing the fear of being relegated to the EFL League One earlier in the season but have bounced back with some positive results.

Their next game will be against a difficult opponent. However, playing at home will give them some much-needed confidence.

Leeds United on the other hand find themselves on the summit of the EFL Championship. They are in great form as their last league defeat came in late November. With 22 wins, 10 draws, and three losses, the Peacocks have accumulated 76 points from 35 games already. They will look to avoid any slip-ups and will be very motivated to clinch all three points against Portsmouth.

Form:

Portsmouth (in all competitions): L-W-W-W-L

Leeds United (in all competitions): D-W-W-W-L

Players to watch out for:

Callum Lang (Portsmouth)

The Englishman is Portsmouth’s top goalscorer in the 2024/25 EFL Championship season with 10 goals in 29 appearances. Versatility is one of his strongest weapons, as he can play as an attacking midfielder, a striker, and a right winger. Fans will be expecting a great performance from him against Leeds.

Ao Tanaka (Leeds United)

The Japanese international displayed his phenomenal quality against West Brom and Sheffield United in the recent games. He possesses the ability to dominate and control the midfield against any opponent. He is also very clever with his last runs in the box. Tanaka is very effective in front of goal and is viewed as a complete midfielder.
