2009-05-09 - Blackburn vs Portsmouth

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Both sides goes with the aim of getting maximum points in this clash. But both sides know that they have not been consistent all season, so will be eager for the three points here.

Blackburn goes into this match losing three of their last four games, while the visitors Portsmouth have taken just one win from their last five games which prevents them from moving up the standings.

But Blackburn goes into this match in confident mood knowing that they have tasted just one defeat in nine games at Ewood Park since Sam Allardyce came into the side.

In addition to that, Portsmouth have failed to win any of their last 11 games away from Fratton Park and have failed to score in their last three matches, coming into this game.

The statistics on the other hand suggest this game will be evenly matched. For the record, only one of the 11 Premier League games between the pair has ended in a draw. Interesting to note is that eight of the 10 victories have been by a one-goal margin.

With regards to the team news, the home side will miss the services of Roque Santa Cruz (knee) and Jason Roberts (fractured metatarsal) for this match once again. Therefore we will once again see defender Chris Samba is again likely to partner Benni McCarthy upfront. The likes of David Dunn, Steven Reid and Brett Emerton are also out of this match through injury.

Portsmouth have the problem whereby Glen Johnson and Younes Kaboul are still battling to be fit in time. Noe Pamarot is suspended after being sent off against Arsenal last week but the good news is that Linvoy Primus who is back from a loan spell at Charlton will feature.

Upfront for Pompey, Peter Crouch will once again start as the lone striker with Kanu, John Utaka and David Nugent all being on the bench.

Take Blackburn to get a slim win here and give the 1/2 ball here.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
