It has been a challenging first three months of the season for Pompey as they look to mount a successful battle against relegation from the Championship.
As it stands with the league action giving way to the third international break of the campaign, John Mousinho’s men are sitting four points and two places above the relegation zone after winning just three of their first 15 games of the season.
One clear area for improvement in Pompey’s performance is their attacking threat, with just 12 league goals scored this season and only Sheffield United have scored fewer in the Championship.
But how does Pompey’s attacking threat compare to their rivals across the second tier? We use Pompey’s average XG (expected goals) to compare their proficiency in the final third with the other 23 clubs in the Championship with the help of the latest updated stats provided by FootyStats.org.
