Portsmouth host Southampton looking to build on a 1-1 draw with Watford, despite a lengthy injury list. With the Pompey being tough to beat at home, our prediction firmly points toward a 1-1 draw. John Mousinho's troops have struggled for consistency this season, winning just 30% of their games and scoring only 0.9 goals per match on average. At Fratton Park, Portsmouth have fared slightly better, netting 1.2 goals per game, but have kept just 0% clean sheets at home recently, suggesting they remain vulnerable at the back.
Southampton, meanwhile, are high on spirits following a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United, with Edozie and Roerslev Rasmussen missing but not impacting their result. The Saints have mirrored Portsmouth’s overall form with a 30% win rate, though their defense has been more reliable, keeping 40% clean sheets at home and conceding only 1.0 goal per home game. Away, Southampton are slightly inconsistent but capable of goals, averaging 1.2 scored and 2.2 conceded per match.
As both sides are cautious defensively, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Draw and Half-Time Draw.
This Championship match will be played on Sunday 25 January 2026 at 12:00.
