Exeter vs Portsmouth: Top free betting tips
Our Exeter vs Portsmouth prediction is for a decisive win from the visitors. How pumped up will be Pompey to react to their first away defeat in 8 months?
Exeter were delighted to finally end an embarrassing 13-game winless run (D3 L10) on Boxing Day. The Grecians should consider themselves lucky stealing that win though as they didn’t play very well yet again. Portsmouth also lost on Boxing Day – 1-2 away vs Bristol Rovers. However, this was the first away defeat of the season for the league leaders and they will be keen to react with conviction now.
Total goals prediction: Under 2.5 goals
There were no more than 2 goals scored in all of the last 3 H2Hs. Also, all of Exeter’s last 5 matches stayed under 2.5 goals. This is why we picked this particular Goals Market option for our first Exeter vs Portsmouth prediction.
Half with the most goals prediction: Second
Our next Exeter vs Portsmouth prediction is that the majority of the goals will be scored in the second. In 8 of the last 10 H2Hs there were more goals scored after the break.
Also, Exeter scored 69.3%, or 9 out of 14, of their league goals so far in the second. Portsmouth also score mainly after the interval – 61.8%, or 24 of 39 goals.
Correct score prediction: 2-0 to Portsmuth
With our final Exeter vs Portsmouth prediction we back Pompey to claim a 2-0 win. This was the exact result in 1 of the last 2 H2Hs. Also, 2 of Exeter’s last 4 defeats were with that same 0-2 outcome.
