The upcoming match between Portsmouth and Sheffield United is expected to be a highly contested one. Looking at the recent form of both teams, Sheffield United, led by coach Chris Wilder, seems to have the upper hand. In their last 5 matches, Sheffield United has been able to secure positive results, showing their consistency and ability to perform under pressure.
On the other hand, Portsmouth, managed by John Mousinho, has been struggling defensively, conceding a significant number of goals in recent games. This weakness in defense could prove to be costly against a strong attacking side like Sheffield United. In addition, Mousinho's team has been scoring an average of 1.2 goals per game, while Wilder's team has been scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game, indicating a slight advantage for Sheffield United in terms of offensive firepower.
In terms of head-to-head encounters, the previous matches between these two teams have been fairly balanced, with 2 wins for the home team, 1 draw, and 1 win for the away team. However, considering Sheffield United's recent form and their ability to perform well away from home, betting on an X2 result could be a wise choice for this match.
Moreover, Sheffield United is known for being able to withstand the pressure of the home crowd, which could give them an edge in this match, as Portsmouth will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage. With both teams having a history of scoring goals in their previous meetings, we can expect to see a good number of goals in this upcoming match.
