This journalist is backing one particular Southampton star to blow away Portsmouth

Daily Echo journalist Dan Hargraves has predicted that Southampton winger Leo Scienza will open the scoring in Sunday's South Coast Derby against Portsmouth at St. Mary's. Hargraves noted he would back the Brazilian attacker to break the deadlock after Scienza previously scored in a 1-1 draw between the rivals at Fratton Park.

Saints Marching writer Kelan Sarson notes that Scienza has had a mixed campaign with two Championship goals so far, trailing teammate Cyle Larin's tally of seven. However, the writer believes Portsmouth's defensive injury issues, including doubts over Benjamin Arthur and Conor Shaughnessy, could offer Scienza strong opportunities to score.
