Recent meetings
The sides last met on the south coast in December 2025. On that occasion, a Yuki Ohashi opener for Portsmouth was cancelled out by Callum Lang, before Ibane Bowat struck a late winner for the visitors. The more recent league encounter ended in a 1-1 draw at Ewood Park back in March.
Portsmouth’s recent form has been mixed, with two wins, a draw and two defeats from their last five outings. Their most recent result was a goalless draw away at Charlton Athletic last Thursday.
Squad situation
A number of players remain unavailable for selection. The current injury list includes Connor Ogilvie, Franco Umeh, Jacob Farrell, Josh Murphy, Keshi Anderson and Luke Brooke-Smith. For the latest team news and player availability, check the official injuries updates.
Blackburn arrive at Fratton Park positioned 16th in the Championship, just one place and one point ahead of Portsmouth. The match offers a direct chance for the Blues to climb the standings.
Portsmouth’s last home victory was a 2-0 win against Cardiff City earlier this month, with Colm Shaughnessy and Marezi getting the goals. The team will be aiming for a similar performance to close out this block of fixtures. The Championship resumes after the international break in early October.
