Portsmouth v Cardiff City

Portsmouth welcome Cardiff City to Fratton Park this Saturday at 15:00, with a minute's silence for Alan Knight before kick-off. It's a clash between two sides struggling for early-season momentum: Pompey sit 21st in the Championship, having lost three of their first four league games, while newly-promoted Cardiff are level on points in 19th and one of only three teams in the division still without a win.

History leans Portsmouth's way here. Cardiff have won only one of their last ten league visits to the South Coast, a 2-0 victory back in August 2010 under Dave Jones. Pompey won 2-1 in the sides' last meeting in February 2025, so a win this time would secure back-to-back league victories over the Bluebirds for the first time since December 1972.

John Mousinho strengthened on deadline day, bringing in left-back Jayden Meghoma from Brentford and attacker Tyrese Shade from Burton Albion. Conor Shaughnessy is a doubt, while Jacob Farrell and Dylan Lawlor are out. Kick-off is 15:00 BST at Fratton Park.
