Portsmouth vs Arsenal Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Arsenal Win
- Odds: (-417) (Tonybet)
Arsenal were lucky to face relatively easier opponents at the beginning of the FA Cup. Mikel Arteta’s side sit first in the Premier League, while Portsmouth are struggling in the Championship.
Their head-to-head history also heavily favours the Gunners. In their last seven meetings, Arsenal have won six and drawn one, with an aggregate goal difference of 17-3.
Tactically, Arteta’s men tend to dominate possession and generate high xG. Portsmouth’s form has been inconsistent and recently included a heavy 5-0 defeat against Bristol. Given the significant gap in quality, Arsenal should wrap up a straightforward win.
Portsmouth vs Arsenal Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Gabriel Martinelli to Score
- Odds: +185 (Tonybet)
Gabriel Martinelli is one of Arsenal’s most direct box attackers from open play. While Portsmouth average 1.45 xGA in the Championship, the Gunners’ left-side patterns tend to create the exact near-post chances Martinelli finishes best.
With Arsenal coming off a congested run of fixtures, the FA Cup presents a natural rotation opportunity where Martinelli often gets minutes. As such, he should receive plenty of chances against the struggling opponents.
Arsenal’s strong away form this season supports more box entries, shots, and rebound chances. Given Martinelli’s speed and efficiency in the penalty area, he’s a strong goalscorer pick.
Portsmouth vs Arsenal Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Arsenal Win + Gabriel Martinelli to Score + Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: +220 (Tonybet)
Arsenal Win: Arsenal are playing excellent soccer on all fronts, while Portsmouth are fighting for survival. Even with rotation, the visitors should qualify without too much difficulty.
Gabriel Martinelli to Score: This is an excellent chance for Gabriel Martinelli to end his six-match drought. The Brazilian is fast, agile, and with his technique, he should score at least once.
Over 2.5 Goals: Portsmouth have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games. Arsenal are prolific in attack and will look to grab an advantage, which is likely to result in a high-scoring affair.
Portsmouth vs Arsenal Team News
Portsmouth Team News
Portsmouth’s Championship campaign has been difficult. They sit near the bottom of the table with six wins in 24 matches. Their standout performer this season has been Adrian Segecic, who has scored only four goals.
Key players who have anchored the squad when fit are notable absences, as Portsmouth’s attack relies heavily on their movement and finishing. Moreover, the hosts have consistently struggled to generate goal threats in recent games, particularly against stronger sides in the Championship
Portsmouth arrive at Fratton Park with several injury concerns. Callum Lang, Colby Bishop, Connor Ogilvie, Florian Bianchini, Josh Knight, Josh Murphy, Mark Kosznovszky, and Thomas Waddingham are out. With so many absentees, Pompey are likely to be more reactive and compact, rather than proactive in possession.
Arsenal Team News
After beating Aston Villa 4-1 and Bournemouth 2-3, Arsenal produced a lacklustre performance in their last match against Liverpool. They produced only 0.57 xG and were blunted by a well-set block, with the game ending in a goalless draw.
Nevertheless, they’re still six points clear of Man City in the Premier League. There was also a boost in Arsenal’s squad as Declan Rice returned from a knock. He netted a brace in the 3-2 win at Bournemouth, consistently providing late box runs and second-ball pressure.
Arsenal will be without Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori, and Max Dowman (ankle). The biggest tactical hit is Calafiori because his absence reduces Arteta’s flexibility at left-back and left centre-back.
