Back the Clarets to pile more misery on poor Pompey
Portsmouth have not won on the road in the Championship all season and don't expect that to change at improving Burnley on Saturday.
Burnley are 19/20 favourites in bwin’s 3Way football betting market to pick up all three points when struggling Portsmouth visit Turf Moor this weekend.
Eddie Howe’s side will be looking to win their fourth straight game in the Championship as they aim to get themselves back in the playoff hunt.
They come into this clash full of confidence after their impressive 2-1 win at West Ham last weekend and they crushed Ipswich 4-0 in their last home game – they are 7/4 to keep another clean sheet here.
Over the season as a whole, it is fair to say Burnley have been inconsistent at home but it’s worth noting that they have come from behind to win two of their last three league clashes.
| Primera Division | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mallorca | 1-1 | Betis Sevilla | £120.00 | (5/1) |
| Mallorca | 2-1 | Betis Sevilla | £180.00 | (8/1) |
| Mallorca | 1-2 | Betis Sevilla | £185.00 | (33/4) |
| Mallorca win | £51.00 | (31/20) | ||
| Draw | £66.00 | (23/10) | ||
| Betis Sevilla win | £53.00 | (33/20) | ||
Should you fancy that trend to continue here you can get odds of 13/2 on the lead-lose selection in the run of play market and also worth a look is the halftime/fulltime market of Portsmouth/Burnley at 25/1.
These are worrying times yet again for Pompey fans as their owners have recently had to go into administration, a scenario all too familiar in recent years for those with ties to the club.
Portsmouth head to Turf Moor as one of only two sides without an away win in the league all season.
They have only picked up one point on the road in their last five games and are 11/4 outsiders to come away from Burnley with the three points this weekend.
The side from Fratton Park have at least opened the scoring in three of their last four games and with that in mind, there are two bets worth considering .
The halftime or fulltime market has Pompey at 33/20 while Michael Appleton’s men are priced at 13/5 to score more goals in the first half than they do in the second.
Historically this has been a fixture that ends in a stalemate. There have been four draws in the last ten league meetings and three of those have come in the last five clashes.
All four of the draws have been 1-1 and new bwin customers who stake their free £25 bet on this scoreline at 21/4 could walk away with £156.25 should the result come in.
However, the smart money is likely to be on Burnley to continue their impressive recent form and send Pompey closer to the dreaded trap door to League One.
