In the upcoming match between Portsmouth and Watford, the home team seems to have a slight advantage. Portsmouth has been struggling with their defense, but their opponent, Watford, has also had issues with their defense while playing away from home. This could potentially lead to a high-scoring game, despite the fact that the number of goals scored in past meetings has been low.
On paper, Portsmouth appears to be in better form than Watford. They have a higher average of goals scored per game this season compared to their opponents. Additionally, Portsmouth has won the majority of the recent head-to-head matchups between the two teams, with 2 wins for the home team and 3 wins for the away team.
The home team is managed by John Mousinho, who will be looking to secure another victory for his team. Mousinho's side has been consistent in finding the back of the net this season, with an average of 1.3 goals per game. On the other hand, Watford, under the guidance of Tom Cleverley, has also been scoring goals at a decent rate, with an average of 1.2 goals per game.
Despite the defensive vulnerabilities of both teams, Portsmouth seems to have a better chance of coming out on top in this match. The home advantage, combined with their superior form and goal-scoring record, gives them an edge over Watford. However, the unpredictability of football means that anything can happen on the day of the match, and Watford could potentially cause an upset.
