West Brom vs Portsmouth: Early weather forecast, ticket details, travel information
Portsmouth travel to West Brom for their next Championship game on Saturday.
The Blues will be looking to get over their disappointing 2-1 loss to Norwich at Fratton Park by picking up a positive result at The Hawthorns.
It won’t be easy. The Baggies have both of their Championship games so far and look like a force to be reckoned with this season.
West Brom beat John Mousinho’s side 5-1 in this fixture last season in what is widely recognised as their worst performance of the campaign.
Still, the latest ticket information suggests they’ll be backed by a large army of away fans for this fixture regardless.
Portsmouth can expect perfect football weather at West Brom on Saturday
There should be no worries about the conditions at The Hawthorns on Saturday. The summer weather is expected to persist for the rest of the week in West Bromwich.
The Met Office predicts temperatures of around 24°C during the match, with a 10 per cent chance of rain.
Winds are expected to reach high speeds of six miles per hour, while the predicted humidity rating is 50 per cent.
This weather should present the perfect conditions for the crisp passing football that both teams like to play.
Away tickets sold out for Pompey’s trip to West Bromwich Albion
Portsmouth won their first away game of the season 1-0 at Oxford in front of a sold-out away end.
The enthusiasm from the travelling support remains strong, as the game against West Brom has sold out as well.
