Portsmouth is like as many European teams in financial crisis. The situation in club is very serious and they are on the edge of felling out of the Premier League, so the victory in FA Cup could give them a little confidence. Club is in serious debt and is currently for sale for 30 million pounds. Even because of that the players will take this match very seriously, because they have a great opportunity to prove themselves and by the summer find a new owner of the club. On the other side Birmingham with coach Alex McLeishom has very well advanced, particularly some of the players who have been practicly »signed-off«. At Fratton Park stadium there will meet teams, which plays very hard and sharp. Therefore, the match will be constantly tense and full of surprises, therefore I also play on a surprise victory for the hosts.
