Portsmouth vs Southampton Prediction
Why we picked this for Portsmouth vs Southampton
Our pick for Portsmouth vs Southampton in EFL Trophy is Under 2.5 goals, with 98% 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 Southampton (2.4 per game). Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.
The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 98%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 0-4. The pick lost.
