Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that there's minimal chance that this fixture will have 4 goals or more, and the odds and statistics point in the same direction as our predictive algorithm on this one. Portsmouth and Leicester have seldom treated their fans to a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.30.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Portsmouth are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 46% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.15.
