Free Betting Tips for Portsmouth vs Burton

Bishop to Score Anytime

Cole Bishop is Portsmouth’s top goalscorer this season with his 12 goals. He tends to get far more chances when playing at home and 5 of his last 6 league goals have been scored on home turf. Added to that is the fact that Burton had been able to keep only 1 away clean sheet all season and we believe Bishop will continue his hot scoring streak in this match.

Half with Most Goals – Second

Considering that both Portsmouth and Burton score the majority of their goals in the second halves of matches we safely assume that this will be the period with the most goals.

Portsmouth have scored only 11 of their 36 league goals in the opening 45 minutes of their games. Also, Burton tend to be very cautious on their travels The Brewers score their first goal on the road on average in the 51st minute, while they don’t concede on average until the 47th.

Portsmouth to Score First

Burton sold their top 2 goalscorers Adeboyejo (11 goals) and Keillor-Dunn (5 goals) in January. This means that right now the 2 top scorers of the team are defenders Hamer and Oshilaja, each with 3 goals.

At the same time, Portsmouth had been able to score in 4 of their last 5 home matches. They have scored the first goal in 3 of these games too. That’s why one of our free predictions is that Pompey will be able to score first again.

Portsmouth vs Burton: Match Preview & News

Portsmouth

Pompey won just 2 of their last 16 league matches and due to this lack of wins their promotion chances look gone already. Portsmouth remain solid at home though (W4 D8 L2).

Centre-back Robertson is the only major absentee. At the same time, the squad will be boosted by the returns of the recently injured full-backs Rafferty and Swanson.

Burton

Burton jumped out of the relegation zone after 3 consecutive wins. The last 2 of these were very lucky and undeserved though, so the displays remain somewhat shaky.

The midfield line is set to be badly crippled for this match. Key inner midfielders Terry Taylor and Mark Helm are set to miss injured.
