Well done to whoever’s responsible for Sky Sports scheduling this evening. Whether by design or quirk of fate they’ve landed on a League One match between the division’s top two, Portsmouth and Bolton.
Wanderers trail Pompey by three points but they’ve a game in hand and a win tonight would take them top of the table.
They’re unbeaten since early October, a run of 11 games in all competitions, of which they’ve won 10, so they couldn’t be in better shape ahead of tonight’s clash.
Portsmouth have been equally impressive in League One, suffering just one defeat all season. That came a few weeks ago in the shape of a shock 4-0 thumping at home by Blackpool, which ended an incredible 27-game unbeaten run in League One.
They’ve bounced back with two wins since to reclaim top spot, all the more impressive considering a mountain of injuries that they’ve had to deal with this season.
Home advantage means Portsmouth are tonight’s favourites at 7/5 with the visitors at 15/8 to win this fixture for the first time since 2009.
Pompey’s top scorer Colby Bishop will miss out for the hosts which might just swing things in favour of Bolton who have only conceded once in their last NINE matches. 15/8 on the outright market appeals but we keep the draw onside by backing the Trotters at even money in the Draw no Bet market.

Sunk by the miss of the season ?
Long time since last post, however tonight non-league game between Hitchin and Leiston is priced at 13/8 for over 2.5 match goals?
Seems overly generous as home teams last 6 homes have generated 22 total goals, away team 17 total goals in last 6 aways.
Anyway, I’ll take:
Over 2.5mgls @ 13/8
Over 3.5mgls @ 15/4
Good luck all ?
Nice to see you back Rich ?
Nice shout richtea and thanks for pointing me towards this game ?
Great spot Rich…well done mate ??
Full house here – final score 1-4 ?⚽✅
Bookies got this one badly wrong?
Yesterday’s bet won at 21/20
No bet today as no value about
Portsmouth to miss a pen 18/1
Bolton to miss a pen 22/1 Hills
Wee bit of interest
Unsurprisingly LOSER
Well done all winners
Hitchin
V
Leiston
19:45
English Southern Premier League Central
BOTH teams to score 6-5 ⚽ NAP ⚽
side bet
BTTS and over 2.5 goals 11-5
BOTH at UNIBET
richtea above has already pointed out the high price for goals in this game and it’s the same for BTTS which raises suspicions here so not full stakes but a decent amount staked nonetheless.
Hitchin should win but bookies price them above EVENS so they may think it’s not a forgone conclusion.
Last 5 hitchin home games seen BTTS and overs.
Last 5 leiston away games seen them scoring in all 5 and not lost any of them though it’s a few weeks since they played probably due to abandonments.
Leiston scored in all 5 head to head here and all saw 3+ goals., 4 were btts and overs.
Leiston also scored in 11 of last 13 games.
Prediction 1-1 or 2-1
Night owl ?
Cavalier v Mount Pleasant FA
00:30
Jamaican Premier League ??
BOTH teams to score EVENS SKYBET
Cavalier scored in last 9 home league games.
League leaders Pleasant scored in their last 8 away league games
Forgot to add 2 head to head in cavalier this year ended 2-2 and 2-1
Over 2.5 up by half time. Good call.
Went for btts second half. 10/3.
Cheers
36 mins for BTTS and overs ?
Not often bookies bear gifts but this turned out to be one.
The prices for this level of footy didn’t make any sense.
2nd half gl in Turkey & 2 corners at Portsmouth away from free punt tonight.
