Match Results: Stoke City
Prediction for the 1st half
Stoke City have scored in the first half in 6 of their last 7 away matches. This provides a direct basis for backing them to score before half-time. Pick: Stoke City to score in the first half at odds of 2.33.
Match Result Prediction
Stoke City are unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 matches and have won four consecutive away matches. They have four wins in seven away matches this season. However, Portsmouth are also unbeaten in eight of their last nine matches, so the bet Stoke City will not lose (X2) at odds of 1.56 remains risky.
Corners Prediction
Portsmouth have taken at least five corners in each of their last seven home matches. The bet is Portsmouth Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 at odds of 1.38.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Stoke City have scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 away matches. Portsmouth have scored in 10 of their last 11 home matches and conceded in 7 of their last 8. However, Stoke City have conceded an average of just 0.8 goals in their last ten away matches, which limits confidence in the pick. The Both Teams to Score - Yes bet is offered at odds of 1.83.
High-Risk Bet
Portsmouth have scored at least two goals in five consecutive home matches. They have averaged 2.4 goals across their last ten home matches. Portsmouth Team Total Goals - Over 1.5 at odds of 2.5 is a riskier option.
Safer Bet
Stoke City have taken at least four corners in ten consecutive matches. However, they have taken fewer than 5.5 corners in 6 of their last 7 away matches: these runs are compatible with a range of four to five corners. We pick Stoke City Team Total Corners - Over 3.5 at odds of 1.42.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm’s calculations, the three most likely scorelines are 1:1 (12.7%), 1:0 (9.33%) and 2:1 (8.33%). Of these, 1:1 is the most likely. The probabilities of the other two scorelines are 9.33% and 8.33%, respectively.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Both teams are in good form and remain motivated to fight for promotion, making a cautious approach less likely. Stoke City's tendency towards high-scoring away matches is backed up by the fact that they regularly score and concede on the road. Portsmouth also have no problems in attack, while their defence do not look impenetrable against strong opposition. Over time, both teams have shown consistent finishing. The main pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
