Blackpool vs Portsmouth Prediction & Betting Tips (9 March)

Blackpool have not been in the best of form on their own patch recently, winning just two of their previous 15 top-flight matches, and the Seagulls have actually been beaten in four of their last six home games. Portsmouth, by way of contrast, have enjoyed eight wins in 15 the League One fixtures of late, and they have splashed the cash on new players this summer.

With 15 of the previous 21 Blackpool matches at the venue in the League One serving up no more than a couple of goals. This has also been the case in ten of the most recent 15 top-flight fixtures featuring Portsmouth, meaning that more of the same is expected when the two sides meet.

It has been quite an unusual experience to see Blackpool both score and concede during the same 91 minutes in a League One fixture recently, with this happening just three times out of a possible 11. Given that only six of the previous 21 top-flight games involving Portsmouth have produced goals at both ends, at least one of the two keepers should pitch a shutout here.
