Predicted final 2025-26 Championship table - and where Portsmouth, Coventry City and Middlesbrough finish

After a 1-0 triumph against Oxford United on the opening day of the season, Pompey fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Norwich City on Saturday.

Returning to Fratton Park in the league for the first time this term, the Blues found themselves 2-0 down after 14 minutes, with Harry Darling and Josh Sargeant converting from close range.

John Mousinho’s men worked their way back into the game, but missed a penalty with 10 minutes to play when Colby Bishop failed to convert from 12-yards out.

Although Adrian Segecic scored his second goal in two games to half the Canaries’ advantage, Pompey were unable to find a late equaliser at a sold-out Fratton Park.

The defeat leaves the Blues 12th in the table after the opening two rounds of the campaign, while their were impressive triumphs for the likes of Coventry City, Middlesbrough and Stoke City.
