Portsmouth vs West Brom: match facts, form and head-to-head – 5 December 2026

Portsmouth host West Brom in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table, with the home side languishing in 18th place on seven points from six games. West Brom sit comfortably in fourth, having amassed 14 points after seven matches and boasting a modest +3 goal difference. The visitors will look to extend their unbeaten run, having recorded four wins and two draws, while Portsmouth will be desperate to snap a streak of three defeats and close the gap on the safety zone. Historically the two clubs have met sparingly this season, but the gulf in form suggests West Brom enter as clear favourites, though a point at Fratton Park could prove vital for the struggling Portsmouth.
