Portsmouth v Vitoria Guimares UEFA Cup Odds

Portsmouth v Vitoria Guimares UEFA Cup odds in this Portsmouth Vitoria Guimares betting UEFA Cup first round, 2nd leg in Portugal, has the two sides very close in the market to win this match. Pompey take a 2-0 first leg lead into the game and should have too much for the plucky Portugese team to overcome on aggregate. We have all seen how Pompey have been totally transformed under manager Harry Redknapp over the last few years, they fully deserved their FA Cup win last year and were also one of the better teams in the Premier League. This two leg tie has been Redknapps first taste of European football at manager level and he must be revelling in the opportunity to show what he and his team can do. After a shaky couple of games recently, Pompey returned to winning ways at the weekend when beating Spurs 2-0, with Jermaine Defoe on the score sheet yet again. They will of course need to be at their best to stifle Guimares, who finished third in the Portugese league last season. Portsmouth are around 11/8 to win, while the Portugese team are a 6/4 shot. A draw is best priced at 9/4.

Pompey will just have to be careful in this game not to concede an early goal and ideally they could make the tie safe if they can get a crucial away goal. Peter Crouch who has not made the most auspicious of starts this season finally got on the score sheet last week against Spurs and with luck he can now follow that up with another here.
