Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs a home win with goals.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Cyle Larin to score anytime | 11/10 (bet365) | Cyle Larin leads a Southampton attack that has been irresistible at home, scoring 15 goals in four games at St Mary’s where the hosts have won the lot. Portsmouth have done well on the road but face a side in blistering home form. Larin is the focal point of it all and should get chances in the derby. At 11/10 to score anytime, the forward is the soundest pick as Saints look to maintain their perfect home record. |
| Southampton 2-1 Portsmouth | 15/2 (bet365) | Southampton have won all four at St Mary’s and scored 15 goals doing so, but they have yet to keep a clean sheet all season, so Portsmouth should carry a threat of their own. The recent derbies between the pair have been tight, and a visiting goal would be no surprise. A 2-1 home win fits both Saints’ home scoring and their leaky defence. At 15/2, the scoreline is the value call in a lively derby, with Southampton yet to keep a clean sheet this season. |

How Southampton go into the game
Southampton sit fourth and have been perfect at home, winning all four at St Mary’s and scoring 15 goals there, though they fell 2-1 at Wrexham last time out.
The hosts carry a real goal threat but have yet to keep a clean sheet all season, so their games rarely stay quiet.
How Portsmouth go into the game
Portsmouth are 19th but have been solid on the road, held to a 2-2 draw at home by Blackburn last time out.
The visitors have conceded just three times in three away games and will look to frustrate their rivals.
