We have two Barclays Premier League games today, combine them with the Champions League ones and you have a good betting slip with great combined odds.
Portsmouth v Birmingham City 09/03/2010 19:45 GMT
Sunderland v Bolton 09/03/2010 19:45 GMT
The first game might look awfully familiar, since both teams played in the FA Cup this weekend, where Portsmouth won 2:0.
Portsmouth v Birmingham City : Portsmouth might be playing really well in FA cup, but when it comes to Premier League games, their stats are horrible. The team has a home record of 3 wins 2 draws and 8 losses. With the bankrupt of the team and points being taken from them, Portsmouth will most likely play in the Championship next year.
The team has drawn 2 and lost 1 from the last 3 home games. Birmingham with an away record of 4 wins 2 draws and 7 losses, is currently taking the 9th spot. There was a period in the season where they were actually in the top spots with a real chance for getting in the Europa League groups. However the lack of consistency and the decrease in performance has brought them down.
Both teams played during the weekend, and I don’t think they will have anything more to show here. My predictions would be a draw game, highest odds: 3.35 @ Betfair.com. A safe bet here would be Under 2.5 Goals odds of 1.67 @ Betfair.com
Sunderland v Bolton: Bolton has made it clear that they will do everything possible to stay in Premier League. Winning away over West Ham was an indication that the team has the potential to gather enough points to move as far as possible from the red zone.
Sunderland is only 3 points away from the red zone, and also need a win here to move further up. Home record of 5 wins 6 draws and 2 losses shows a lot of lost points in draw games. Bolton with an away record of 3 wins 3 draws and 8 losses showed a great game this weekend. The question is can they do it again?
My prediction for this game would be home victory for Sunderland since, usually this time of the year teams from the lower portion of the table get really competitive. Most of the depend on home games and would try to get the best out of them. Odds of 2.2 @ Betfair.com
