 After qualifying to FA Cup finals, Portsmouth have completely given up the championship. Not only are they losing games, but their performances are also desperate so it is interesting to see how they will increase the form before the finals. On the other hand, Fulham got back on form at the right time. Only two weeks ago they were discarded, and now the yare entering the final round knowing that the win on the south of England brings them the survival.
Will they sleep over the finals too?
Portsmouth can’t remember when the last time they took points in the league was. FA Cup is the only thing of their interest and they practically live for the game at Wembley that will the top of the season. In a situation like that, it was expected they will play with the reserve team against Fulham, saving the important players for the final, but Redknapp announced that he will play with his best team in order to end the negative comments that would certainly come because the game with Fulham will directly determine who will be relegated. Primus is out due to injury, just like the best goalie in the league, James, but it is expected he will be fit for the next week. Portsmouth will not let Fulham take points without fight, and we shouldn’t be surprised if the ypaly a good game. Win over Fulham would definitely improve the confidence after few consecutive defeats, and, since they are pressure free and with the required quality, they certainly get that result.
The moment of decision for Fulham
It is simply unbelievable that the team which marked 4 wins during the entire season, had won 3 times in the last 4 weeks thus arriving on the verge of the survival. The win over direct rivals away, Reading, just like against Manchester City, in addition to last week’s win over Birmingham City, were all enough for Fulham to get in front of Reading and Birmingham, and should they beat Portsmouth, they will definitely remain in the league. That will not be easy, of course. Portsmouth are a good team that is not in the FA Cup final by chance and who are not among the top teams in the league by chance as well. On the other hand, Fulham are on form, but another win in the row would be a miracle. No one is injured or suspended, so Hodgson will have the entire team In front of him to attempt pulling the impossible.
Betting verdict
Fulham are considered favorites, most of all because the motivation in the squad is on big level. On the other hand, Portsmouth are more quality team which is playing poor lately only because their priorities have changed since they are completely preoccupied with FA Cup. However, Portsmouth are very dangerous with their lethal counterattacks, and Fulham have no other choice but to attack thus to open the space for speedy Pompey strikers. It is possible that in a game like this Portsmouth could get the lead that could bring them the win until the end. We shouldn’t forget that until several weeks ago, Fulham hadn’t won away ant it is the question if they can now mark their third consecutive.
