Why we picked this for Portsmouth vs Scunthorpe United

Our pick for Portsmouth vs Scunthorpe United in League One is Over 2.5 goals, with 64% confidence. Recent form: 3 of Portsmouth's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (3.2 goals per game in total), against 2 of 5 for Scunthorpe United (2.4 per game). Recent form is split here (5 of 10 games went over 2.5), so it doesn't settle the call on its own.

Past meetings don't back this call, with just 1 of the last 3 head-to-heads ending over 2.5. Recent form weighs more heavily than older fixtures, which is why the pick stands. The 64% confidence reflects a real but modest lean in the recent numbers. The match ended 2-0, so Over 2.5 didn't come in.
