APWin experts have analysed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

From what they have shown thus far this season, Portsmouth and Leicester both tend to play quite defensive styles and like to keep things tight in midfield.

As a result, we predict the total going under 2.5 goals to be the most attractive betting option for this upcoming match.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

It's hard to overlook the part that defence will play in this match. The capable defending of both sides will be tough for opposing offences, which is why it could be a low-scoring affair.

That overwhelming defence is also a great reason to go 'no' on the Both teams to score market.
