How it turned out

We projected about 2.3 goals; the game finished with 4. Both teams scored. We made Both teams to score 51%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.2 goals from Portsmouth and 1.1 from Blackburn, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.2-1.1), and we make both teams to score about 51%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 51 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.86, which works out at about 54 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

What the numbers say
✓Portsmouth have won two of their last five.
✓Blackburn have won one of their last five.
✓Two of the last four meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
✓Both teams scored in two of the last four meetings.
