Portsmouth - Plymouth Argyle predictions

We don’t expect Portsmouth to have any issues beating Plymouth Argyle. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.67 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Plymouth Argyle, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 5.50.

The hosts will be hugely motivated for their Wednesday clash following their Leeds United win from the last round. It was the game they were expected to lose and 8.00 prove it. Still, Portsmouth beat the odds – held strong for the first half – and then managed to score a goal more than their rivals to secure an important triumph.

Previously in the Championship, Plymouth Argyle recorded an HT/FT home defeat with a considerable 0:3 goal difference. Most bookies saw them as the clear underdogs before kick-off, though, so the fact that they were trounced is hardly surprising.

With two consecutive matches with 1 goal or fewer, games in which Portsmouth play are not the best for Over markets.

Plymouth Argyle may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Plymouth Argyle once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Wednesday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Wednesday.
