Stoke vs Portsmouth Prediction & Betting Tips (2 October)

Stoke have owned recent games in front of their own supporters, winning five of the last seven in the Championship and suffering just a single defeat in the previous ten. Portsmouth don’t exactly have the best of form on the road either, with Portsmouth suffering four defeats in six top-flight trips of late.

Stoke have not been involved in too many thrillers recently, with each of their previous five matches producing no more than two goals as they battle away against the drop. Portsmouth have no such difficulties worries, but the Portsmouth have been involved in some low-scoring contests too of late, with seven of their last ten league games serving up under 2.5 goals.

Over the course of their most recent 13 matches at the top table of Spanish football, Stoke have been involved in just three encounters in which the net has bulged at both ends. Such an occurrence has been similarly rare in top-flight fixtures involving Portsmouth, happening only once in seven attempts, so at least one of the two keepers should emerge with a clean sheet.
