What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from Portsmouth and 1.2 from Sheffield United, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Portsmouth come into this on two straight draws. Sheffield United come into this on five straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Portsmouth or Draw. This covers Portsmouth or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 67 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.40, which works out at about 71 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Portsmouth have won one of their last five.
✓Sheffield United have not won any of their last five.
