In-Depth Betting Tips and Predictions for Portsmouth vs Sunderland

Sunderland have been playing some great football this season, and have their fans dreaming of a push towards the top-flight this season. Meanwhile, we’re backing them to win away to Portsmouth this Saturday.

Sunderland so far in Championship 2024/25:

• Top of the league with 3 Wins from 3 Games
• Have the lowest xG allowed against them (1.5) in the second tier
• Scored the 4th most goals in the league
• Have had the highest attendance (40,059) on average

Under their new manager Regis Le Bris, Sunderland are playing some attractive football with a very talented squad. Portsmouth have started the season well, but if Sunderland’s away performance against Cardiff City was anything to go by on the opening day, they should manage to cope at Fratton Park.

On the other end of the expected goals spectrum, Portsmouth have conceded the 2nd most in the league so far (7.0). They’re a side that easily concede important chances, whereas Sunderland are the team that’s best at preventing them from existing.
