Wolves (4th, 4 pts) host Portsmouth (10th, 3 pts) in the Championship. Both sides will be targeting three points here.
Portsmouth are no pushovers away from home. W1 D0 L0 from 1 away trips, scoring 3.0 per game on the road. Wolves (W0 D1 L0 at home) can't afford to take this lightly. Both sides are prolific in front of goal. Wolves average 2.5 per game and Portsmouth chip in with 2.0. Expect an open, attacking contest.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Wolves create chances worth 1.1 a game (and give up chances worth 1.6), leaving them -0.5 a game on the balance. Portsmouth create 1.1 (giving up 1.4) for a balance of -0.4. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath.
Goals look likely here. Wolves average 2.5 per game (2.0 at home) and Portsmouth chip in with 2.0 (3.0 away). Defensively, Wolves concede 2.0 at home and Portsmouth leak 1.0 on the road. We make it 71% for three or more goals. One of the stronger cases for goals today. There's a good chance both teams find the net, and we make it 70%. Wolves score in 100% of their games and Portsmouth in 72%, and neither back line is tight enough to bank on a clean sheet. A word of caution on the chances: even though the goals numbers point up, the combined chance quality is only worth 2.1 a game. These sides aren't creating as much as their goal tallies suggest. Hot finishing has flattered the numbers.
Wolves are all-out attack: 2.5 goals a game, but they leak 1.5 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Portsmouth, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Portsmouth have goals in them (2.0 per game) but their record at the back (2.0 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
