Portsmouth vs Barnet Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

Fratton Park is quickly becoming a feared venue in League Two this season as Portsmouth have claimed 10 points from a possible 12 on home turf so far this season. With Pompey currently lying in fifth place in the league boss Paul Cook will know that his side will have to improve on the road if they are going to live up to the pre-season title favourites tag. Cook’s men boast the second best defensive record in the division and they will have to rely on that if they are to real in early leaders Plymouth Argyle.

Visiting the second best defensive unit in the league is Martin Allen’s Barnet, the divisions best defensive unit. The Bees are currently sat in 14th position with 10 points on the board but they do have a game in hand on most of the division after their match with Newport was abandoned at half time due to a waterlogged pitch. Since then Barnet have got straight back into the groove and they are still yet to take part in a match that has had more than two goals scored.

Portsmouth have looked impressive at home and given that this is a meeting of the two best defences in the league it looks to be set to be a game without much to trouble the scoreline. A Portsmouth win is available at 4/7 but we are going to be a little braver and boost our odds by backing Portsmouth to win and under 2.5 goals, which is available at 11/4 with bet365
