Game: PORTSMOUTH vs EVERTON
Type: PREMIER LEAGUE
Date: 21 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Portsmouth is having a season to forget as they struggle to remain afloat in the Premier League. Their performance has been mediocre at best and shocking at times. Nevertheless, their last 4 matches have given a glimmer of hope that they might be able to survive the relegation dog fight. Playmaker Krancjar seems to have found his passing range and this has enabled the team to lift their game.
4pts behind of Aston Villa, Everton will be looking for maximum points when they travel to Fratton Park. Since losing to Villa back in 17th Dec 2008, Everton has only lost once in their last 18 matches in all competitions! What's more remarkable is the fact that they have not conceded more than 1 goal per game during that stretch. This great run has enabled them to close into the top 6 with 10 matches to play.
KWIK STATS
HOME > PORTSMOUTH
AWAY > EVERTON
THE PICK
Everton might have won their last 2 but a closer look at their away stats shows the inability to score in their last 3. With Portsmouth averaging 1.25 goals at home, i'd have to go for UNDER 2.5 goals as i don't see a goal fest happening here.
