Portsmouth vs Stevenage: top free betting tips

Pompey will try to continue the fine display this season with a victory over Stevenage at Fratton Park.

Goalscorer prediction: Ryan Hardie to score

There are very few players who are outscoring Ryan Hardie in League One this season. The likes of Jonson Clarke-Harris come to mind. Nevertheless, Ryan Hardie remains one of the best players around this year. The 25-year-old Scotsman has been lethal up front for Portsmouth and he has scored against far greater opponents than Stevenage this season.

Total goals prediction: Over 2.5 goals

Yes, Ryan Hardie’s presence on the pitch is always a huge advantage but Portsmouth are operating at a good level in attack in general. Pompey bagged 26 goals this season whilst also conceding 20.

On the other hand, we have Stevenage who are eager to get promoted this season. There are only two League Two clubs who are performing at a higher level up front – Leyton Orient and Northampton Town.

Match Result prediction: Portsmouth to win

Sadly, for coach Danny Cowley, Jayden Reid is injured and won’t be able to boost Portsmouth’s chances to get the victory on the 13^th of December. But that’s okay as Ronan Curtis is fit and will be storming the left wing on Tuesday.

Stevenage are underdogs in this game for a reason. They are a lower-division team and will have to travel to an extremely inhospitable ground where Portsmouth will be the ones who enjoy the home-field advantage.

Portsmouth preview

Pompey have been a delightful surprise this season, a true football gift to the neutral fans. Portsmouth are currently in 8^th place and despite the recent misfortune, they are still in the promotion fight. Sure, the chances for the League One trophy are pretty much gone but getting a chance to qualify for the Championship is all Danny Cowley’s boys want.

Stevenage preview

The Boro are fighting their way through League Two like true champions. It’s hard to say who deserves the title more – Leyton Orient or Stevenage. Coach Steve Evans is an old fox and we’re convinced that he still has a few tricks up his sleeve. It will be quite interesting to see how Stevenage will perform in the EFL Trophy games as well.
