Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but good reason to think Southampton and Portsmouth will score 2 or more goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither William Still or John Mousinho has served up too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.29 equating to about a 76% probability.
