Liverpool vs Portsmouth Betting Choice Analysis

Pay Per View customers have an extra treat on Tuesday evening when Liverpool and <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Portsmouth play a fixture originally postponed because of Liverpool's Champions League qualifying round commitments in August.The Reds go into the game on the back of Saturday's derby disappointment at Everton, which has left them well off the pace in the title race, and six points away from fourth spot. On reflection losing at Goodison Park probably shouldn't be viewed as the greatest shock considering Liverpool's poor away form. At Anfield though it has been another story with six victories and just the one defeat in the league.Life has certainly been not dull for Reds fans this term with several hugely entertaining games at Anfield. A week ago Olympiakos were knocked out of the Champions League after a dramatic Steven Gerrard third goal. Arsenal were beaten with a last gasp winner, as were Crystal Palace before them. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> While Liverpool have been strong at home this season, Portsmouth have struggled on their travels, that is until their victory at Bolton, which was followed by a draw at Newcastle last Saturday. Once it was known Harry Redknapp would be leaving the club, many expected a sudden downturn in fortunes for Pompey. The reverse so far seems to have happen with the squad seemingly stronger than ever. Since Redknapp's resignation, Velimir Zajec has overseen two Premiership victories and the 1-1 draw at Newcastle. There was though that humiliating loss in the Carling Cup at Vicarage Road, which suggests if the South coast club are even slightly off the pace, they will struggle to win games. Looking at the betting possibilities, and it is hard to get away from a home victory. Six out of seven wins in the league is an impressive record, while Pompey have only won once away. In addition Liverpool will be desperate to atone for the derby defeat and ensure they stay in contention for European qualification. Obviously the recent good form of the visitors needs to be respected, and so it is advised to keep stakes to a sensible level. Several firms offer 1/2 on the home victory, but we shall be heading to VCBet for our four point investment.
