Swansea City vs Portsmouth Prediction and Betting Tips | December 9th 2025

Swansea City will host Portsmouth at Swansea City.com Stadium on Tuesday in the 20th round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts managed to end their abysmal run of form last time out and will be keen to build momentum on that result.

Swansea were hardly the better side but managed to capitalize on their chances to get a 2-0 win over Oxford United on Saturday to put an end to a five-game losing streak and go three points clear of the drop zone.

The Swans had a comfortable mid-table finish last season but have struggled to get results this campaign leading to the sacking of head coach Alan Sheehan last month and will hope to turn things around going into the second half of the season under newly hired head coach Vitor Matos.

Portsmouth have hardly had a better season as they now sit in the drop zone, two places and three points behind this midweek's host with four wins from 18 league outings so far. Pompey had to abandon their match against Charlton Athletic during the weekend in the first half due to a medical emergency amongst the Charlton fans but will remain optimistic to push out of the drop zone this midweek.
