Portsmouth’s tortuous time in the Premier League is likely to continue unabated when they visit Old Trafford and take on champions Manchester United this weekend.
Amidst allegations of lies and deceit made by manager, Avram Grant towards the Pompey board and players being paid on an ad hoc basis, it is little wonder that the Bookmakers rate their chances of success against United as almost impossible at best. Paddy Power Bookmakers quote United at 1/8 odds on to win the match with Pompey being at 22/1 and the draw no better than a 13/2 option. Punters therefore are advised to look at the Correct Score and Goal Scoring markets for better value.
Beaten in four of their last five league games, including a reverse against Fulham in Midweek, Portsmouth have reached the desperation stage and know that the ‘rot must stop now’ otherwise relegation will be unavoidable. They are currently 1/6 odds on to go down this season.

The two teams last met at the end of November at Fratton Park in a match that United won easily by 4-1 and we think that a scoreline even bigger then that is on the cards in this. We have listed a number of Correct Score Betting Options below, but our initial gut reaction is that United will score at least five in this match, probably without reply and therefore would back a 5-0 win with odds of 12/1 from Paddy Power
If United can score five or more then it stands to reason that should Wayne Rooney play that he will be on the score-sheet. He is the hottest striker around right now meaning that it would not be unreasonable to see him score at least twice or possibly even a hat trick. He is 2/1 to score two or more but 6/1 to score a hat trick also with Paddy power.
