Strong Case for Backing Under 2.5 Goals

There are reasons to side with Under 2.5 on the Total Goals market. Luton and Portsmouth could fall short of the line and we really like the odds of 1.80 that are available for this pick.

No Goals When Teams Last Met

Luton Town were beaten last game and this was on the road at Vicarage Road Stadium. Watford claimed a 2-0 victory. The Hatters managed two shots on target and had 46% possession.

Portsmouth have won their previous three games. The latest was a 2-1 home triumph at Fratton Park against Queens Park Rangers. John Mousinho's team recorded 47% possession and managed three shots on goal, with Josh Murphy and Matt Ritchie both on target.

Fratton Park played host to the last encounter between Luton and Portsmouth, with the former playing away. The clash ended in a 0-0 draw.

Luton Town – Last 10 League Games

Luton have 7 losses and 3 draws, averaging 0.5 goals from 2.6 shots on goal and 7.2 attempts. Matt Bloomfield's side have averaged 48.2% possession and 5.2 corners per match, with the opposition scoring 1.4 goals from 3.6 shots on goal, 7.8 attempts and 4.4 corners.

Top goalscorer Mark McGuinness has found the net 2 times, with Jacob Brown, Alfie Doughty and Tom Krauss scoring 1 each. The top assist makers are Lasse Nordaas, Carlton Morris and Mark McGuinness, all of whom have 1 on the board.
