Match description

The favorites are the visitors: Ipswich sit 2nd in the table versus Portsmouth's 22nd, with 21 wins in the season compared to the hosts' 11, and have scored 71 goals versus 41. In the last 5 matches Ipswich have scored 10 goals (3 wins and 2 draws) and are averaging 2.2 points per match, while Portsmouth in the same period have 5 goals, only 1 win and 1.0 point per match. The visitors are far more efficient in finishing chances: Ipswich’s shot conversion is 13% versus Portsmouth’s 7%, and the percentage of matches without a goal is 11% for Ipswich versus 35% for Portsmouth, translating to 1.74 goals per away match vs 1.05 at home. xG highlights an additional problem for Portsmouth: average home xG is 1.71 but actual goals are 1.05 (inefficiency ~0.66 goals per match), whereas Ipswich have 1.51 xG away and score 1.74 goals (an advantage of ~0.23 over xG). Defence and trends also favor the visitors — Ipswich conceded 5 goals in the last 5 matches and have 32% clean sheets away, while Portsmouth conceded 10 goals in the last 5 and have only 20% clean sheets at home, therefore I predict an Ipswich victory.
