SOUTHAMPTON V PORTSMOUTH BETTING FORM

Both sides come into this South Coast Derby with mixed form. Despite having been relegated from the Premier League in 2025, Southampton were tipped by many to bounce straight back up to the top-flight. With new manager Will Still at the helm and a busy summer transfer window, optimism has returned to St Mary’s. However, the Saints have only managed 5 points from their first 4 league games and haven’t won since Gameweek 1.

Southampton Recent Form:

DRAW: Watford 2-2 Southampton, Saturday 30th August
WIN: Norwich 0-3 Southampton, Tuesday 26th August
LOSS: Southampton 1-2 Stoke, Saturday 23rd August

Portsmouth, on the other hand, were generally expected to finish in the bottom half this season after a 16th-place finish in 2024. However, after taking 7 points from 4 games, Pompey fans will be hoping for an upset against their south coast rivals.

Portsmouth Recent Form:

WIN: Portsmouth 1-0 Preston, Saturday 30th August
DRAW: West Brom 1-1 Portsmouth, Saturday 23rd August
LOSS: Portsmouth 1-2 Norwich, Saturday 16th August

WHAT ARE THE BEST ODDS ON SOUTHAMPTON V PORTSMOUTH

Spreadex currently has Southampton as strong favourites, at 4/6 to win the match. Visitors Portsmouth sit at 18/5 to win, and punters can back a draw at 14/5. Our “Match Odds – 2 Up” market will also pay out early at 8/13 should Southampton go two goals up, or at 10/3 if Portsmouth go two ahead at any point during the match, regardless of the final score.

Despite Southampton’s slightly worse recent form, their overall quality is expected to prevail this Sunday. The last time the two teams faced each other, the Saints won 4-0, but that was way back in 2019. South Coast Derbies have been few and far between in the 21st century, so the teams may not be as familiar with each other as their rivalry would suggest.  

Regardless, this game is expected to be a closer affair than last time out. Spreadex has Southampton to win by 4+ goals currently priced at 10/1, whilst Portsmouth winning by at least 4 goals sits at 66/1.

SOUTHAMPTON V PORTSMOUTH SPREAD BETTING PRICES

Spreadex also has a number of spread betting markets for Sunday’s South Coast Derby. Our “Goal Supremacy” market has Southampton favoured by 0.75-0.95 goals. That means if you expect Southampton to win, you would “buy” and if you expect Portsmouth to win or the game to finish in a draw, you would “sell”.

Our popular “Total Goals” market is currently set at 2.65-2.85 goals. This market is for the total number of goals in the game, regardless of which team scores them. That means if you think there will be lots of goals, you would “buy”, but if you think the defences will be on top and goals will be scarce, you would “sell”. If you bought, a 4-2 thriller would result in a profit of 3.15 times your stake (6-2.85=3.15), but a 0-0 draw would result in a loss of 2.85x your stake (0-2.85=-2.85).

SOUTHAMPTON V PORTSMOUTH SPECIALS AND PRICE BOOSTS

Hosts Southampton opened their 2025 campaign with a thrilling victory against Wrexham, which saw them score two goals during injury time to win the game. Could they leave it late again this Sunday? Their 1st goal minute spread market is currently set at 43-46. If you expect them to leave it late once again, you would “buy”, and you would “sell” if you expect them to score before the 43rd minute.

Also no strangers to a late goal, Portsmouth’s spread for the same markets sits at 59.5-62.5. We also offer a total goal minutes market, allowing punters to bet on the sum of the minutes in which goals are scored. For example, a game where two goals are scored, one in the 10th minute, and one in the 65th minute, the market would make up at 75 (10+65=75). The spread for this Sunday’s South Coast Derby is currently set at 135-145.

Remember, when spread betting, you can lose multiples of your stake if your bet loses, so it’s important to understand potential gains/losses and set your stake size accordingly. For example, if we saw a 1-1 draw with goals in the 10th and 65th minutes, a £1 buy would lose you £70 (145-(1*75) =70). On the other hand, a £1 sell would give you a £60 profit (135-(1*65) = 60).
