Portsmouth v Cardiff Betting

The Portsmouth v Cardiff Betting have for this Portsmouth Cardiff FA Cup Final at Wembley this weekend have Pompey as 1/3 Favourites. Cardiff, are a generous 5/2 against to win against their Premier League opponents. The odds actually if anything put Pompey under more pressure than they would have liked as their recent run of indifferent form does not bode well for a high profile game such as this. They know that winning would cap a great season and qualify them automatically for the EUFA Cup. This qualification would have been their biggest ambition this season for sure.

Harry Redknapp, is a very popular footballing figure, he has transformed Portsmouth in his time there and has them, on their day, playing a high quality brand of football. He has bought well in the transfer market, but possibly one of his best buy’s Jermaine Defoe will not be playing here due to him being cup-tied. Defoe made a huge impact on the team when he arrived from Spurs and has scored regularly for them. His presence will surely be missed.

Cardiff though are no pushovers and they have goal-scorers of their own in Jimmy Floyd Hasellbank and Robbie Fowler (if he plays). Hasselbank is a great inspiration at Cardiff and possess’s a deep determination to win matches. You can bet your life he will be playing all out to get a result and he is well priced at 8/1 to score the first goal.

Cardiff were brilliant in their quarter-final against Middlesborough, they travelled a long way and to come back with an emphatic 2-0 win demonstrates that they are a match for anyone on the day. They will have no fear of Portsmouth and will go into the game far more relaxed and with the knowledge that they are the underdogs and have nothing to lose. Someone said recently that this is the year of the underdog and someone else said that this has been a great sporting year for Wales; bear that in mind when placing any bet.
