Portsmouth ‘save their season’ after what has happened at Fratton Park
Portsmouth have successfully turned Fratton Park into a fortress yet again throughout 2025.
Pompey are fighting the threat of relegation to retain their Championship status this season, with the run-in set to provide a rollercoaster of emotions for the Blues.
John Mousinho’s men currently sit 17th in the table, which is also where the supercomputer has predicted they will finish, but they are continuing to focus on moving up the table.
Portsmouth have created a seven-point gap between them and the relegation zone, which has allowed some breathing room heading into the final seven fixtures.
Portsmouth have an impressive 2025 stat
One of the main reasons for Portsmouth’s improvement is their form at Fratton Park, which has been impressive since the turn of the year.
Pompey have managed to turn the iconic stadium into a fortress, making it a difficult place for other teams to visit.
No team in the Championship has won more points at home in 2025 than Portsmouth, with the Blues gaining 22 points at Fratton Park this year.
| Championship | Played | GD | Points |
| 17. Portsmouth | 39 | -14 | 45 |
| 18. Stoke | 39 | -12 | 42 |
| 19. Oxford United | 39 | -17 | 42 |
| 20. Hull | 39 | -9 | 41 |
| 21. Cardiff | 39 | -20 | 40 |
| 22. Derby | 39 | -11 | 38 |
The closest team to them is Burnley, who have earned 19 points at Turf Moor, while Coventry, Leeds, and Sunderland have all earned 18 points in home fixtures.
This impressive stat highlights the turnaround that Portsmouth have made throughout 2025, with the consistent points helping to pull them away from the threat of relegation back to League One, which everyone involved is keen to avoid.
Portsmouth showed their home form against Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn Rovers became the latest team to be stung by Portsmouth’s impressive home form after they were defeated 1-0 on Saturday (29 March).
Josh Murphy scored the only goal of the game against Blackburn as the Blues showcased their defensive stability by keeping a clean sheet.
It proved to be an important three points for Pompey as they progressed further away from the relegation zone, while providing an upset to their opponents, just as they did against Leeds recently.
Blackburn are looking to make a late surge for a place in the Championship playoffs, which made Portsmouth’s result surprising to some fans, but not those in blue.
However, the Pompey faithful are now well aware of what their team is capable of achieving at home, which the team will be aiming to continue in the final stretch of the season.
