Moments of pluckiness notwithstanding, Portsmouth have endured a terrible season with four separate owners unable to pull the club out of administration nor save it from relegation. No one is giving Pompey a chance on Saturday, trading as they are at 17.0 compared with Chelsea’s 1.2 on Betfair .
Fulham are once again rank outsiders to beat Europa League opposition, having won as underdogs in their last five pairings in the competition. Yet given their tenacity and will to win, 3.85 on Betfair seems a reasonable price.
With Spurs safely nestled in fourth place in the Premier League this, their final game of the season, is notable for one reason: a win could take them to third. The odds of a win, at least, are in their favour @1.5 on Betfair.
Following Tottenham’s victory over Manchester City, which sealed fourth place in the Premier League, the race for third is the latest sideshow after the title deciding games. Arsenal must win or draw against Fulham to be sure of their spot, and at 1.2 for the win on Bet365, they are strongly tipped to do so.
Fulham have to put thoughts of glory in Europe behind them (at least temporarily) to snatch a home win against Stoke on Wednesday.
