BACK@ 3.20Risk 2% (£25.70)-£25.70

Sheffield United's strong short-term form (1.83 over last 6 matches) and superior goal difference (1 vs Portsmouth's -2) suggest they are undervalued. The predicted fair odds for an away win (2.23 from short-term model) are lower than the market back price (3.20), indicating potential value despite the higher odds.

BACK@ 2.46Risk 1.5% (£22.84)+£32.68

Portsmouth's ELO rating is notably higher than Sheffield United's, and the ELO model makes them a clear favourite at around 2.44 fair odds. The market has them at 2.46, which looks like value given the home side's superior underlying strength.

LAY@ 2.48Risk 2% (£32.79)-£32.79

Both short-term and medium-term Poisson models favour the away side, pricing a home win well above 3.30. With Portsmouth showing negative goal differentials and inferior recent form compared to Sheffield United, laying them at a market price of 2.48 is a strongly data-backed value play.

BACK@ 1.90Risk 1% (£9.44)-£9.44

The fair-odds models for over 2.5 goals (around 2.02 short-term and 2.57 medium-term) suggest the market price of 1.90 on Under is modestly undervalued. Both teams have low recent xG (around 1.0-1.5) and Sheffield United's medium-term form has featured tight scorelines. Modest edge only, hence conservative stake.

BACK@ 3.20Risk 1.5% (£16.22)-£16.22

Sheffield United show stronger short-term and medium-term form than Portsmouth, with higher recent goal expectancy, and both the 6-game and 12-game fair-odds models favour an away win over a home win. Only the longer-run ELO rating leans toward Portsmouth, but recent news confirms Sheffield United are in good touch (two goals for their striker and a clean sheet last weekend), supporting that the away side is underpriced at odds implying only a 31% win chance.
