John Mousinho ‘sack ready’ as Carragher predicts Portsmouth result v Coventry
Portsmouth face Coventry City in the Championship on Wednesday, with Jamie Carragher making a damning prediction.
Coventry Building Society Arena will host John Mousinho’s team on 9 April as the hosts will look to bounce back from their recent defeat.
The Hampshire outfit lost 2-1 to Millwall at the Den on Saturday (5 April), reducing their gap with the relegation zone.
Pompey are 17th in the Championship, just four points ahead of 22nd-place Cardiff City, making the upcoming fixture an important tie for them.
Carragher predicts Portsmouth loss v Coventry
Carragher has predicted Portsmouth to lose away from home against Coventry, according to Super 6.
The former Liverpool defender believes Frank Lampard’s team will score twice on their own turf, taking three points off of Mousinho’s team with a 2-0 win.
| Championship table (2024/25) | Points |
| 17. Portsmouth | 45 |
| 18. Oxford United | 45 |
| 19. Hull City | 44 |
| 20. Stoke City | 43 |
| 21. Derby County | 41 |
| 22. Cardiff City | 41 |
| 23. Luton Town | 39 |
| 24. Plymouth Argyle | 37 |
A loss could leave the Hampshire outfit dangerously close to the bottom three if results elsewhere go against them.
Pompey will be in big trouble if they lose to the Sky Blues, making the upcoming fixture crucial.
Mousinho needs to make changes in Pompey lineup v Coventry
Mousinho must make changes against Coventry, with the starting lineup needing some freshness.
Fratton Park will fear Championship relegation after dropping three points against Millwall, and a similar result in West Midlands will further fans’ worries.
The Hampshire outfit have done well to come out of the relegation zone after their poor start to the season, but all that work could potentially go to waste in the final six matches.
Coventry will be a challenging test for Portsmouth, but they’ve got a massive six-pointer coming up against Derby County on Saturday (12 April).
The Rams are also fighting to avoid the drop as they sit level on points with Cardiff, and a win against them will be invaluable for Pompey.
Mousinho’s team may be in for a bitter outcome at the end of the season if they drop back down to League One, with several of their key players potentially wanting to leave.
It’s imperative that the Hampshire outfit end the seasons strongly to try and make progress in the upcoming campaign as failure to retain a place in the Championship may lead to the English manager’s sacking.
