Plymouth Argyle are likely to win this game, thanks to their current form. Plymouth have only lost one game in their last ten matches across all competitions while Portsmouth have lost five of their last eight matches.
Although the odds aren’t in favour of Portsmouth winning this game, the visitors are somewhat decent going forward any from home. Portsmouth have scored at least a goal in each of their last two away games. Both teams scored in the reverse fixture.
Although recent results do not suggest this game would end with at least three goals, the likelihood of Portsmouth getting on the scoreboard is decent and has somewhat turned this game into a potential over 2.5 goals game.
Plymouth Argyle are on the same level of points [61] as league leaders, Sheffield Wednesday, although they have played a game more. Plymouth have lacked consistency in recent games, having won three of their last five matches. They succumbed to league leaders 1-0 last weekend away form home, hence they are keen on bouncing back to winning ways. Plymouth Argyle are occupying the 2nd position with 61 points after 29 matches.
The Pompey have lacked consistency as well in their recent games but have managed two wins in their last five League One matches. They were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Barnsley last weekend but are keen to fight back to winning ways against title contenders, Plymouth Argyle. Both teams played a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture, although Plymouth were forced to see out the remainder of the game with 10 men. Portsmouth are in the 10th position with 38 points after 27 games.
The last time both teams met, it ended 2-2 draw in Portsmouth but Plymouth finished the game with ten men. The home side are the favourites to get the job done.
Plymouth Argyle could lead at half-time.
Backing the favourites to avoid a defeat is somewhat a safe tip.
