What to expect
We expect about 1.2 goals from Portsmouth and 1.0 from Blackburn, so Portsmouth come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Blackburn come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Not both teams to score. This shapes up as a quiet, low-key game — around 2.3 goals between the two (xG 1.2-1.0). One side keeping it tight for a clean sheet is well on the cards.
We put the chance of that landing at about 47 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.91, which works out at about 52 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
