Predicted final 2025-26 Championship table after opening weekend results - and where Portsmouth, Southampton and Co finish

Pompey got their Championship campaign underway on a winning note on Saturday afternoon, with a 1-0 victory over Oxford United.

Adrian Segecic registered his first Fratton Park goal on debut, with his 38th-minute effort enough to steal the three points for John Mousinho’s men.

The triumph puts the Blues into sixth after the opening weekend of fixtures - although league positions must be taken with a pinch of salt with 45 matches still to play.

Nonetheless, it’s a positive start to the season and - more importantly - a victory on the road after last term’s struggles away from Fratton Park.

Elsewhere in the second tier, there were notable results for Bristol City, Millwall and Stoke City, while Birmingham City and Ipswich Town played out a thrilling 1-1 draw on Friday evening.
