Bristol City

Bristol City returned to winning ways with a 1-0 win over Luton Town in their last game, with Scott Twine scoring the only goal of the game in the 47th minute. The win gave the Robins their first win after they had experienced a 4-game winless run. They sit 11th on the table with 30 points in 23 games, scoring 27 goals and conceding 28. Due to injuries, Bristol will be without Joe Williams, Kal Naismith, Mark Sykes, and Sinclair Armstrong in this game.

• Portsmouth have the second-worst defense on the road this season, conceding 26 goals.

Expert Betting Tips

Their defense has always let down Portsmouth since the beginning of this season, and I don’t think anything will change going forward. They have been trying to put things together in their recent games, but their last three games showed that something still needed to be done. Although the hosts have secured one win in 5 games, they still have my money. However, I expect the hosts to keep a clean sheet because previous games (6 of the last 8) have seen such a result between the two sides.
