Pompey Have the Shortest Odds to Win

Some will want to go ahead and back Portsmouth at -189 to win this Championship encounter. After all, this betting price suggests a 65% chance that the favourites end up succeeding. If you’re searching for a different slant, Sheffield Wednesday are available at +480.
