The Value Lies With Black Cats

There’s a case for backing Sunderland -1 at odds of 1.82, meaning money back if they beat Portsmouth by a single goal. A victory by two goals or more would land a nice return with this Asian Handicap wager.

Sunderland Overcame Pompey in Previous Clash

Sunderland last game was a 2-1 win over Sheffield United at Stadium of Light. That means it’s now been two home victories on the spin. Regis Le Bris' team had just 34% possession and recorded six shots on target, while Eliezer Mayenda and Wilson Isidor scored one goal each.

Portsmouth have lost three straight road games. Their most recent appearance was a 4-0 home victory over Swansea City at Fratton Park. Pompey were restricted to just 27% possession and had six shots on goal, with Josh Murphy, Paddy Lane, Ryley Towler and Colby Bishop on the scoresheet.

Sunderland have won the last two encounters against Portsmouth. There was a 3-1 away triumph at Fratton Park after winning 1-0 when hosting at Stadium of Light. The previous 10 H2H meetings have ended in five Sunderland victories, two draws and three Portsmouth wins.
