Portsmouth vs Cardiff is a Championship clash at Fratton Park on Saturday, with the hosts marginally fancied after both sides lost midweek.
Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Championship clash below.
Premium Tips
Andy narrowly favours Portsmouth, with goals also on the agenda.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Portsmouth to win and over 2.5 goals | 9/4 | The over is the strong half here. Both sides have leaked heavily this season, Portsmouth conceding eight goals in four games and Cardiff seven, with both teams’ matches averaging comfortably over three goals across the two ends. That points to an open, high-scoring game, and Portsmouth have the Fratton Park factor to try to edge the result. |
| Callum Robinson to score anytime and Krystian Bielik to be booked | 9/1 | Robinson is a proven Championship marksman, with 30 goals for Cardiff plus 26 at Preston and 14 at West Brom, and he faces a Portsmouth defence conceding at will. Bielik brings the disciplinary angle as a combative Cardiff defender who has collected cards in the sample. |

How Portsmouth go into the game
Portsmouth were beaten 2-0 by Derby last time out, a disappointing home defeat. Fratton Park must roar them back to winning ways.
Committed and well-backed, Portsmouth are tough to beat at home. A response in front of their own fans is the aim.
How Cardiff go into the game
Cardiff lost 2-1 at QPR last time out, a narrow away defeat. They travel to the south coast needing a response.
Dangerous going forward, Cardiff will fancy their chances but Fratton Park is a tough trip. A point would be a good result.
