Norwich vs Portsmouth: our match analysis
Why this is our tip
- Table. Norwich: 15th, 15 points from 13 matches (5W 0D 8L). Portsmouth: 11th, 19 points (5W 4D 4L).
What to expect
We make Norwich the favourites. The projected scoreline is 2–1, close to 3 goals in the game, and the outcome we rate highest is 1–1 (11.1%). We expect goals and an open game.
The two signals clash: on table position the Portsmouth look stronger, yet the bookmakers rate the home side a little higher. A game like that is hard to predict, so playing it safer with your bets makes sense.
On goals we like Both teams to score (odds 1.67), with a probability of 56% by our reckoning. By our numbers, both teams scoring is 56% and over 2.5 goals is 55%.
Main points of the prediction
- Projected: close to 3 goals; probability of over 2.5 goals 55%.
- Not available: Norwich 0, Portsmouth 0.
Alternative tip: Both teams score: yes
Other option: Both teams score: yes (probability 56%, odds up to 1.67). We project close to 3 goals, which points the same way.
Absences
Not available for Norwich: no absences. Not available for Portsmouth: no absences. Line-ups can still change, so look at the team news again before kick-off.
