Match preview: Portsmouth - Hull City 2010-03-20 (England Premier League)

Officially 9 points deducted means officially relegated

Avram Grant will check the fitness of his goalkeeper David James ahead of this game as Ashdown made a terrible mistake against Liverpool for their first goal in the 4:1 defeat last Monday.Anthony Vanden Borre,Kevin-Prince Boateng , Hassan Yebda and John Utaka are closing on returns to the squad and some of them may be called in the team if they pass the fitness test.This week The Premier League has officially deducted Portsmouth 9 points after they became the first team ever in The Premier League to go into administration.Now Portsmouth are 17 points adrift the relegation zone and this mission looks impossible and Avram Grant said that it was a sad day.Pompey have won only one game in their last 11 fixtures and even without the deduction they may have not been able to stay up in the Premier League.POrtsmouth have not lost from Hull in the last 8 meetings between them but the last 2 have ended 0:0. bet now

Debut game for new manager Ian Dowie

Phil Brown has been sacked this week after his Hull side have gone on a run of 4 defeats in a row while away from home they haven`t won a game this season and have won only 1 in their last 28 away games while this season they have got only 3 away draws with all their other games lost.Now Ian Dowie was apointed and this will be his debut game at the helm of Hull City and he won`t be able to use George Boateng as he is suspended while Kamil Zayatte and Anthony Gardner are both out with injuries.Meanwhile Paul McShane and Stephen Hunt may return after injuries in time to boost the new managers selection options. online betting

3 meetings in The Premier League - 3 draws

Avram Grant said in midweek that he may make wholesale changes and this means he may experiment new things now that the team has nothing to play for but i don`t expect too many changes by him as this is not his style on the other hand this will be Ian Dowie`s debut game and what a game to start against a team that has nothing to loose.With all 3 meetings between this two in the Premier League ending as draws i expect a draw here but i don`t know what surprises both managers will bring so i will go for draw at half time as i think Ian Dowie will approach this game carefully and explore Grant`s side in the first half. bet online
