Portsmouth vs Millwall Prediction and Betting Tips | November 22nd 2025

Portsmouth lock horns with Millwall in the 16th round of games in the Championship on Saturday. The two sides are perched in opposite halves of the points table.

John Mousinho's Portsmouth suffered a 3-2 defeat at Hull City in their most recent league outing just before the international break. Terry Devlin put Pompey into the lead inside 16 minutes before equalising in first-half stoppage time as the two teams headed to the break on level terms.

Joe Gelhardt netted the winner 11 minutes from time for Hull as Mousinho's side's winless run continued with a fourth defeat in five games. They are languishing in 20th place in the standings, with 14 points from 15 matches, winning three.

Meanwhile, Alex Neil's Millwall are fresh off a 1-1 home draw with Preston North End two weeks ago. Both goals came in the first half, with Michael Smith's 16th-minute opener for Preston getting cancelled out by Mihailo Ivanovic 20 minutes later as a share of the spoils ensued.

Following a third straight winless game, Neil's side remain sixth in the points table, with 25 points from 15 games, winning seven.

Portsmouth vs Millwall prediction

Both sides haven't had the start to the season they would have hoped for, especially Portsmouth, who are hovering perilously close to the relegation zone. Meanwhile, despite a recent blip in form, the Lions are in the play-off places.

Millwall lead Portsmouth by the slenderest of margins in their head-to-head but have dominated the fixture recently, with six straight wins. Pompey haven't beaten the Lions at home in four games, losing the last three, scoring just twice in this period.

A win could potentially take Millwall up to third in the standings. Considering their overall better recent form and dominance against Pompey, expect the trend to continue with a slender win for the away side.

Prediction: Portsmouth 0-1 Millwall
