The research
ProPortsmouth's away form is 1W-1D-3L in 5 and they travel without Josh Murphy (groin, not yet back) and Harvey Blair (out ill, left out of the 25-man squad), stripping attacking options on the road.
Portsmouth's away record is 1W-1D-3L in last 5 and they are missing four defensive regulars, Waddingham, Brooke-Smith, Arthur and Shaughnessy, against a Wolves side unbeaten in 4 of their last 5 at home.
“Portsmouth's defensive injury list and poor away form collide with in-form Wolves at Molineux”

The singles we'd pick ourselves, with the research and the price behind each one
- The daily singles. Each one cleared three checks: the line landed in at least 9 of the two sides' last 12 games, a UK price of 1.35 or more, and our model's number clears what the price needs. Usually 0 to 5 a day, one unit each.
- The case for each, put together. The last 12 against what the price needs, who is missing, the head to head, and the best price at a UK bookmaker, in one place.
- The desk's card on every fixture it covers. Its verdict, every market graded, and the reason written down. And tomorrow's singles the night before.
