Match preview: Norwich vs Portsmouth
Norwich and Portsmouth will face off at Carrow Road in the 43rd round of the Championship. Their previous encounter on 10 December 2024 resulted in a goalless draw.

Team analysis: Norwich
After accumulating 13 wins, 14 draws, and 15 losses, the home team occupies 11th place with 53 points. In their last outing, Norwich fell to Burnley (2-1), having previously drawn against Sunderland at home (0-0). Their home form reflects strong results, with 35 points earned at Carrow Road, scoring 45 goals and conceding 27, compared to 18 points gained away with 18 goals scored and 31 conceded. Over the last 10 home matches in the Championship, Norwich has secured 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses, amassing 16 points from a possible 30. Defensively, they have leaked goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, indicating some vulnerabilities at the back, yet they have consistently found the net, scoring in 9 of the last 10 encounters. Their home games have shown a tendency for goals, with 18 of the last 21 matches featuring over 1.5 goals. Remarkably, Norwich has only managed to overturn the score after conceding first in 2 out of the 18 matches.
Norwich City enters this match after their 2-1 defeat. In that match at Burnley, Jack Stacey netted their only goal. The team employs a 5-2-3 tactical system, emphasising a high-pressing and offensive approach. Key players in the attacking unit include Anis Slimane, Emiliano Marcondes, and Josh Sargent, with attacks predominantly channelled down the left, leveraging Kenny McLean’s pace. However, they will be missing Borja Sainz due to suspension and several injured players including Matej Juasek, Lucien Mahovo, Gabriel Forsyth, Lewis Dobbin, Ben Chrisene, and Callum Doyle.
Team analysis: Portsmouth
The visiting team currently sits in 17th place with 45 points, having recorded 12 wins, 10 draws, and 20 losses. In their penultimate match, Portsmouth lost to Coventry City (1-0), before drawing at home against Derby County (2-2). They have struggled significantly away from home, accumulating just 10 points, while gaining 35 at their own ground, where they have scored 31 goals and conceded 20. In contrast, their away record shows 19 goals scored but a worrying 46 conceded. Over the last 10 Championship matches, Portsmouth has only achieved 1 win against 9 losses, securing merely 3 points from a possible 30. They have been defensively weak, conceding in 7 of the last 10 games, although they have managed to score in 8 matches during the same stretch. Whenever they play away, there is a noticeable trend for goals, as 14 of their last 21 matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.

Portsmouth comes into this match after a 2-2 draw at home against Derby, with both of their goals scored by Rob Atkinson. The team employs a 4-3-3 formation, striving for a balance with quick transitions. The key players creating threats in the opposition’s box include Josh Murphy, Matt Ritchie, and Colby Bishop, with most attacks focussed on the left side, leveraging the depth from defender Connor Ogilvie. They will be without Zak Swanson and Christian Saydee due to suspensions.
