Manchester City missed a great opportunity to finally win a trophy in English football. They were eliminated by the neighborly Manchester United on Old Trafford. One thing is for sure that the team got much from Mancini’s arrival as the new Coach. Still out of the field will stay Joleon Lescott, Roque Santa Cruz, Michael Johnson and Wayne Bridge. Head of the attack again will be excellent Craig Bellamy and Carlos Tevez who almost led his team in the Cup final. I am convinced that Manchester will win tomorrow, even I think that the win will be with more then one goal difference.
Fighting
Portsmouth is in difficult problems. Financial primarily they are close to bankruptcy. For me the best thing that can happen to them is to somehow survive the bankruptcy and the drop in the Championship, as in the case of bankruptcy will have to sell out most of the team, and it is possible to fall in a 3rd or 4th the league. Portsmouth is a club that has really loyal fans who are still with the club in these difficult times. Avram Grant, although recently came to the club is already close to leaving, not because of poor results, but because he is revolted with the state at the club, and because two players were sold behind his back, that two players are Younes Kaboul and Asmir Begovic. I really do not see any chances to surprise City on their field.
Many goals
Manchester is a big favorite in this match, not only because they are 14 places in front of Portsmouth, and because of dozen other reasons. Portsmouth will play tomorrow relieved because they least expect from these games. They are struggling with various problems, and the question is whether they will be able to preserve from bankruptcy. My proposal for this match is over 2.5 goals, because I think that Manchester will from the beginning begin aggressively because they are irritated with elimination from Cup and now they need to relief on someone. Good luck…
