Why we picked this for Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough

For this Championship fixture we go with Over 2.5 goals for Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough, at 50% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Portsmouth's games produced 2.6 goals on average, 3 of them over 2.5. Middlesbrough's games averaged 2.0, with 1 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 of the 10 recent games went over 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Over 2.5.

History between the two sides fits the pick too: 1 of 1 recent meetings went over 2.5. With 50% confidence the recent numbers only just favour this side, so this is one of our weaker picks. Final score: 2-1. The pick won.
