Southampton Vs Portsmouth Betting Tips: Back Our 13/2 South Coast Derby Bet Builder

The Championship returns with a bang as Southampton host arch rivals Portsmouth in the South Coast Derby on Sunday, and you can back our betting tips with this 13/2 bet builder.

It’s red against blue, neighbour against neighbour, Southampton against Portsmouth.

Few games in the English football calendar come with as much spice as the South Coast Derby.

Often dormant, but never dead, this historic Hampshire grudge match is both one of the most heated and one of the rarest derbies in the country.

Due to the pair rarely playing in the same division, there have been just 71 total meetings between the Saints and Pompey.

Southampton have the upper hand in the head-to-head battle, with 35 wins to Portsmouth’s 21.

And the last time these two met, in a 2019 EFL Cup tie, Southampton thumped their rivals 4-0 at Fratton Park thanks to a double from boyhood Saints fan Danny Ings.

As for this weekend’s long-awaited clash, Southampton are 7/10 favourites with football betting sites, while Portsmouth are priced around 7/2.

• Both Teams To Score – YES @ 4/5
• Over 5 Cards @ 6/5

Both Teams To Score – YES @ 4/5

First up, we are backing both teams to score in what promises to be a cracker of a South Coast Derby.

No team has created more chances than Southampton in the Championship so far, and with a strong end to the transfer window, they have added attacking firepower and proven quality at this level.

Pompey have also averaged a goal a game, and with both sides questionable at times defensively, there’s every chance of both teams scoring.

Over 5 Cards @ 6/5

Unsurprisingly, we are expecting plenty of bookings in this one.

Derby days bring out another level of passion in both players and fans.

And with tempers likely to boil over, we think it’s a good option to back over five cards between Southampton and Portsmouth.

Full Time Result – Southampton @ 7/10

And finally, we are backing Southampton to get the win on home turf.

Southampton were relegated from the Premier League last season, but the gap between the top flight and the rest has never been bigger.

Playing at St. Mary’s in front of an expectant crowd, the Saints will be desperate to show why they have played at least one league above Portsmouth for the past 15 years.

The bookies have Southampton down as big favourites, and we agree that they should be too strong for their rivals on Sunday.
