Portsmouth - Burton Albion predictions and free betting tips [12/03/2024]

Tomorrow in League 1, the third strongest division in England, "Burton Albion" will play against "Portsmouth" at "Fratton Park". Let's look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision that will help increase our bank.

"Portsmouth"

A famous team, which just 15 years ago regularly performed in the Premier League, but then slipped into the Championship and gradually into League 1 and League 2. For 11 years now, "Portsmouth" has held its own in these two divisions, but this season may be the time to return at least to the Championship.

At the moment, the team continues to occupy the top spot in the league table, ahead of the nearest rival by 5 points. In the 33rd round, "Portsmouth" won against "Cambridge" with a score of (3:1). The team then won big against "Reading" (4:1). In the next game, they played a goalless draw with "Charlton". After that, the lads won against "Oxford" with a score of (2:1). In the last match, they drew with "Blackpool" (0:0).

"Burton Albion"

This is already the 6th season in a row for the club in League 1. But before that, they showed themselves from the best side, as the guys played in League 2, won, and in the next season took the second place and went up to the Championship. This was very powerful. But after 2 years in the second division the team returned to play in their current tournament. Last year, "Burton" showed average results, which is why they only took the 15th place in the league table.

At the moment they occupy the 20th position in the championship. On the 32nd tour, the team managed to win away against "Leyton Orient" (2:1). After that, they lost at home to "Northampton" with a score of (0:2). The guys then lost with a minimal score to "Carlisle". In the next match, "Burton" had a goalless draw with "Cheltenham". And in the last match, they lost to "Peterborough" with a score of (1:3).

Head to Head

The last head-to-head match between "Burton" and "Portsmouth" was on November 28, 2023. That meeting ended with a victory for "Pompey" with a score of (2:0).

Prediction

"Portsmouth" has been showing great results recently, as they have 4 straight wins at home. "Burton" is much lower in class, so I would bet on a confident victory for the hosts with a handicap (-1).

Total Prediction

I think here the teams will not show a productive game, so I suggest to bet on a TU (total under) 2.5.
