Portsmouth V Birmingham FA Cup Betting Odds Make Pompey Favourites To Progress To Semi Final
Friday 05 March 2010 at 19:00
The Portsmouth v Birmingham FA Cup Quarter Final looks extremely tight according to the match betting odds but if anyone wins this match it is expected to be Portsmouth, although the bookies still think Birmingham are more likely than Pompey to actually win the FA Cup.
Portsmouth Favoured To Win The Match But Birmingham More Likely To Lift The Cup
It seems the Portsmouth v Birmingham odds are all down to home advantage and that make Portsmouth the favourites at 13/8 with SkyBet, Ladbrokes and 888Sport. Birmingham are joint favourites with some bookies but the best price they can be backed at is 15/8 with VC Bet whilst the draw is a fairly likely outcome at 12/5 with SkyBet. Portsmouth have only lost one of their last four games whilst all Birmingham games are very close and normally settled by the odd goal. This marks this game down as a likely draw at 12/5 with SkyBet. The fact that Birmingham would probably win the home replay means they are a good bet to win the FA Cup at 12/1 with Coral as that will no doubt shorten if Birmingham make it to the Semi Finals.
Don't Expect Too Many Goals At Fratton Park
There shouldn't be many goals so that narrows things down to 0-0 or 1-1, since neither team is that likely to keep a clean sheet than 1-1 has to be the bet at 11/2 with Bet365. The good thing about placing that bet with Bet365 is not only that you can earn up to £200 by opening a new account with Bet365, but all losing correct score bets are refunded if the game ends up 0-0. Under 2.5 goals certainly looks a good bet at 4/7 with Bet365 and Paddy Power. For more FA Cup Betting Odds and Portsmouth v Birmingham Betting Odds, click on any of the bookie links above.
