Pick of the stats: Norwich City v Portsmouth

Norwich City prepares to host Portsmouth on Saturday, aiming to halt a four-game losing streak in the Championship. Recent fixtures between the two sides have featured significant scoring, with 13 goals produced over their past three meetings, including an eight-goal, 5-3 Portsmouth win at Carrow Road in April 2025. Portsmouth enters the match following a 3-2 victory over Sheffield United on Wednesday, which ended a three-game winless run.

Portsmouth holds a strong recent record at Carrow Road, remaining unbeaten across their past four league visits with two wins and two draws. However, Pompey has failed to score in their last two away league matches. Defensively, Portsmouth has been vulnerable to set-pieces, conceding 38.5% of their total league goals from dead-ball situations and penalties so far this season.
