Portsmouth v Hull

• Seven of Hull’s last eight matches have seen under 2.5 match goals.

• Portsmouth are unbeaten in four matches.

• Hull have just one victory in their last five games.

Hull City travel to Fratton Park on the final day of the season, desperately needing a victory to avoid relegation to League One. Sitting 22nd in the Championship table, Hull are under pressure to deliver, while Portsmouth are safe in 16th place. 

Despite their lower position, Hull are slight favourites at odds of 2.05 to take all three points. The over/under 2.5 goals market is tightly priced too, with both options available around 1.85. 

Hull’s recent form has been poor, taking just four points from a possible 15, while Portsmouth have been much stronger, collecting eight points from their last five outings.

⭐ Predictions and Best Bets

John Mousinho’s side are unbeaten in their last four matches, winning twice, and have demonstrated resilience even against stronger opponents. In contrast, Hull have secured just one win in their last five games, with only four points collected in that time. A sensible bet could be Portsmouth to win or draw (Double Chance) at an attractive price of 1.70. 

The goals market is finely balanced, but trends suggest a low-scoring affair. Hull have seen under 2.5 goals in seven of their last eight matches, and Portsmouth have followed a similar pattern, with three of their last five games ending under. With so much at stake for Hull and Portsmouth’s habit of keeping games tight, a low-scoring contest could be on the cards.

🔵 Portsmouth Unbeaten in Four Matches

Portsmouth head into the final weekend of the Championship season in strong form. They are unbeaten in four consecutive matches, securing impressive victories over promotion-chasing sides like Watford and Norwich City. 

Mousinho’s team currently rank 10th in the Championship form table based on their last five matches, averaging 1.6 points per game. 

Fratton Park has been something of a fortress for Pompey this season, with the club collecting 39 points from 22 home matches, the ninth-best home record in the league.

Interestingly, while Portsmouth’s fixtures have been inconsistent in terms of goals, three of their last five have seen under 2.5 goals. However, when goals do flow, they do so dramatically, with a recent 5-3 win over Norwich and a thrilling 2-2 draw with Derby. This inconsistency could make predicting goals here tricky, but their strong home form certainly gives them an edge.

🟠 Hull Struggling as Relegation Looms

Hull City find themselves in a precarious situation heading into their final match, needing a result and hoping other results go their way. Their recent form has been concerning, with just one victory and four points collected from their last five league outings. 

Ranking 17th in the Championship form table, they are picking up only 0.8 points per game. A glimmer of hope for the Tigers lies in their away record, which is solid. Hull have picked up 25 points on the road, the eighth-best away record in the division.

However, their matches have often been tight and low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals landing in seven of their last eight games.

📊 Head-to-Head Key Stats
