Projected final score: 2-0<\/h3>

West Ham's Carabao Cup home record is formidable, unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 home ties and averaging 2.64<\/strong> goals scored while conceding just 0.73<\/strong> per game in that run. Portsmouth arrive with a crippled squad, missing Murphy, Kosznovszky, Anderson, and others, making 1.50<\/a> look generous against such a depleted travelling side.<\/p>

A clean sheet looks probable here. Portsmouth have conceded 2.0<\/strong> goals per game away from home across their last 20 road trips, and their attacking options are severely hampered by injuries. West Ham's defensive structure should hold firm, pointing to a low-scoring but comfortable home victory, with 2.38 reflecting the controlled, professional nature of this cup tie.<\/p>
