PORTSMOUTH v MIDDLESBROUGH - THE NEUTRAL VIEW 14-4-06 By Derek Bilton of Bettingzone.co.uk Pompey's midweek home draw against Arsenal maintained their fine recent momentum making it four games undefeated. Harry Redknapp's side should have Lomana LuaLua back after recovering from his treble somersault with pike against Arsenal. FA Cup semi-finalists Middlesbrough roll into town this Saturday on the back of a fine attacking display again Charlton. Whilst their cup form has been particularly impressive of late, their league form appears to have suffered as a result. The cup tournaments are now the focus for 'Boro this season and Pompey should therefore be able to benefit here as a result. However at a generally best price of 4/5, the bookies are also aware of this and at that price I am happy to leave that one alone. Given the attacking style both sides deploy, this game should feature plenty of goal-scoring opportunities therefore four or more goals at 12/5 (Ladbrokes) looks to be a good shout. Verdict: Portsmouth 3 Middlesbrough 2 BACK TO PORTSMOUTH MATCH PROGRAMME INDEX
