Picks for 27 Jan, 2009

HOT PICK: PORTSMOUTH
Top Pick: Tottenham.

Match analysis are as follows:

1) Portsmouth (+1/4 on AH)
Ratings: 9/10
Aston Villa seeks their 5th win a row as they visit Pompey. Unbeaten in their last 6, they have continued their form into the new year sitting pretty in the last spot for Champions League in the Premiership. Despite this, a few factors point to the home team getting a result here. Villa will be without Ashley Young, who is suspended due to the red card he received against Sunderland. Without him, they will be short of supplies up front. In addition to this, it has since been 16 matches since Villa has drawn away. Portsmouth are tough to beat at home, and a draw is a very likely outcome.

2) Tottenham (-1 on AH)
Ratings: 8/10
Spurs are due for a big win at home, and will be encouraged with the return of Defoe. His debut saw him scoring against his former team last week, and the form book suggests that there's more to come. Stoke are poor travellers, conceding an average of 2.15 goals per match! There's no doubt as to who will win here, and its definitely not the visitors!
