Command Analysis

Blackburn Rovers

England

Portsmouth

England

Current form

Before the start of the season, Portsmouth were considered one of the obvious candidates for relegation from the Championship – in terms of player selection, Pompey were inferior to many competitors. So far, John Mosinho team looks quite decent overall and does not give the impression of a hopeless outsider, sitting in 21st place in the table with 23 points. Portsmouth is only breaking away from the relegation zone due to additional indicators, but today they already have a chance to distance themselves. A few days ago, Pompey were eliminated from the FA Cup, losing away with a score of 0:2 to Wycombe Wanderers.

Disqualifications and injuries

Park is suspended. Bowat, Norris, Shaughnessy and Yengi are injured.

Tip and bets

2.35Handicap (-1) on Blackburn

Blackburn have fallen out of the top six after a series of failures, but today they have a chance to get back there – to do this they need to beat Portsmouth. The task for the tramps is not the easiest, given the game decline, but it is quite solvable – the visitors are significantly inferior in terms of player selection. Pompey are especially vulnerable away and in their current state they are unlikely to be able to seriously compete with the motivated Blackburn, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.

We think that the visitors have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Blackburn . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.35

1.85both will score

Bet on total

Blackburn are not known for their sky-high scoring, but today it makes sense to count on goals from the hosts - there is a chance to return to the top six, and the motivation will clearly be off the charts. It is obvious that it will be almost impossible for the guests to remain dry, there is no reliability in defense, and in class the tramps have a serious advantage. At the same time, Pompey will also clearly take risks and they are quite capable of responding with one goal.

Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.85

Bet on corners

Blackburn are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.

Bet - Blackburn win on corners. This bet is offered at 1.61
