Hull City - Portsmouth predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.10, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Hull City is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Portsmouth.

Hull City lost their last Championship outing Derby County. It might have been a minimum defeat but the hosts never actually got a chance to get anything positive from this trip having fallen behind in the first 45 minutes.

Portsmouth are coming on the back of a disappointing draw in their previous Championship matchup, which they played as the home team. They had the advantage of playing at home, but the odds never clearly marked them as the favourites. It makes sense that neither side managed to gain the upper hand throughout the out.

We can see some impressive stats on the home side, and an ability to perform under pressure. They scored over 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances as visitors. Considering they have the home-field advantage this time around, things should go even better for them.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

As far as head-to-head statistics go, we’ll have to take a look at the previous season’s results. A quick look reveals this matchup tends to end in a draw, even though most bookies are projecting a win for Hull City.

On Saturday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.93 odds.
