Best Tip: Southampton to win

As training goes on this week and the Southampton players prepare themselves for this clash, the bookies are predicting a victory for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below suggest the same, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) data we take advantage of in our predictive algorithms. The St. Mary's Stadium hasn't been a successful away day for Portsmouth in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Sunday lunch time. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.
