Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson slightly favours Bristol City, whose home advantage tips a close game their way.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Bristol City or draw (Double Chance) | 8/15 | Bristol City showed plenty of character to come from behind and earn a 2-2 draw at Birmingham last weekend, extending their unbeaten start. They should be even more difficult to beat at Ashton Gate, where home advantage can make the difference. Portsmouth arrive with confidence after a 3-1 win at Lincoln, but their defensive record remains a concern. Bristol City look well placed to avoid defeat, making the double chance on the hosts the safer play. |
| Over 2.5 goals | 11/10 | Bristol City looked much more dangerous in attack last weekend and should carry that momentum into this one. Portsmouth have also shown plenty of attacking intent, but their defensive frailties leave them vulnerable. The last two meetings at Ashton Gate produced eight goals, and another open contest looks likely. Over 2.5 goals is the pick. |
