A supercomputer predicts Portsmouth will finish 17th in the Championship this season. The forecast offers a note of cautious optimism for John Mousinho's side, who currently sit 19th in the table with eight points from seven matches.
Portsmouth have two wins, two draws and three defeats so far. Their most recent outing was a 2-2 draw with Blackburn Rovers at Fratton Park last Friday. The projection, based on performance analytics from Opta, sees the club climbing two places by the end of the campaign in May.
This provides a welcome perspective after a mixed start. The team's recent form reads one win, two draws and two losses from the last five games.
Attention now turns to the next challenge. Portsmouth travel to face rivals Southampton at St Mary's on October 11. Southampton are currently positioned 13th. The full run of upcoming fixtures is available on our fixtures page.
