Betting Odds Manchester City v Portsmouth Premier League
The betting for the Manchester City v Portsmouth Premier League game this Sunday is very close, and most Bookmakers have the home team as narrow favourites. It is a hard match call, but the pressure will be more on Manchester City to win than Pompey. Sven Goran Eriksson seems to be under growing pressure from his Chairman, Thacksin Shinawatra, who seems angry that Manchester City have played poorly for most of 2008, particularly after a great start to the season. Eriksson not only needs to relieve himself of this burden but he has to try and get his team into the EUFA cup next season, something that Harry Redknapp's Pompey side have more or less already achieved.
Current odds are 5/4 Man City, 7/4 Portsmouth and 9/4 the draw.

City's win last week at Sunderland was vital after only one win in their previous seven Premier League outings. Portsmouth have faired much better recently, not only have they qualified for the FA Cup Final, they have won five of their last eight matches and will be difficult to budge from their lofty 6th spot in the Premier League.
Although City start as slight favourites, Portsmouth's Jermaine Defoe is favourite to snatch the first goal, a bet that attracts good odds, particularly as he has been a revelation since arriving at Portsmouth.
The game is live on Sky Sports One at 4pm on Sunday afternoon.
