Portsmouth v Everton – Betting Preview
Posted on | September 25, 2009 | 1 Comment
Game: Portsmouth v Everton
Competition: Barclays Premier League
Venue: Fratton Park
Time: 12:45 GMT
Pompey take on Everton in the early kickoff on Saturday as the look forward to break their Premier League duck. Paul Hart’s men have no points from the first six games of the season and are six points adrift visitors Everton who have recovered well after a dismal start to the season.

v. Aston Villa(Loss) 0-2
v. Bolton(Loss) 2-3 (Kaboul, Boateng)
v. Man City (Loss) 0-1
Paul Hart may grant Aruna Dindane a place in the playing eleven after a strong display in midweek. Right back Steve Finnan played in a closed-doors friendly and could start as well. But Hart will be without the services of Papa Bouba Diop and Hermann Hreidarsson.
Form guide – Everton (most recently played game on top)
v. Hull City (Win) 4-0 (Yakubu, Jo, Gosling, Osman)
v. Blackburn (Win) 1-0 (Saha*2, Yobo)
v. AEK Athens (Win) 4-0 (Yobo, Distin, Pienaar, Jo)
v. Fulham(Loss) 1-2(Cahill)
Although Everton have their last three games, only one win has been in the Premier League. Everton’s Nigerian forward Yakubu returned for the midweek game but had to be withdrawn at half-time. He would have to prove his fitness or settle for a place on the bench. Steven Pienaar and Joseph Yobo are also to have late fitness tests. The game marks the return to Fratton Park for Sylvain Distin who left Pompey not too long ago.
Match verdict: After not having a single point for half a dozen games, Pompey will have the greater desire to perform – that too in front of their home supporters. I see a slight upset in this one. I wouldn’t vouch for Everton winning this. I’d go for a draw with Portsmouth having my vote if a clear victor has to be chosen. If Dindane starts, he should be favourite to be the first goal scorer.
Portsmouth 1-1 Everton (Dindane, Saha)
