We said: West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Portsmouth

With a hostile Hawthorns crowd behind them on Mowbray's return, West Brom will be expecting a return to winning ways against relegation-threatened Portsmouth. Pompey have been excellent at Fratton Park in recent times but have won just one away game all season, and we do not envisage the visitors adding to that tally in the Black Country this weekend.
