Middlesbrough are short of results: 0 won, 3 drawn and 2 lost from their last 5, 3 points from a possible 15. They have scored 4 and conceded 6 in that run. Their last game was a 2–2 draw away at Swansea City.

Portsmouth are short of results: 0 won, 2 drawn and 3 lost from their last 5, 2 points from a possible 15. They have scored 5 and conceded 12 in that run. Their last game was a 2–2 draw at home to Oxford United.

The best prices across 3 UK bookmakers are 3.00 for Middlesbrough, 4.20 for the draw and 15.00 for Portsmouth. The bookmakers make Middlesbrough favourites, at about 52% once the margin is taken out.

Our prediction: Middlesbrough to win, with a 54% chance. The market puts it at 52% and our match model at 56%, and blending those with recent form gives 54%. The best price, 3.00 at Betfair, is longer than our fair price of 1.86, so there is value in it. The pick lost.
