I'm not overly convinced with portsmouth, I know there a Prem side and got off to a great start albeit winning away game's searlier on this season but since Christmas they have been no great shakes and I don't think getting into a rut of defeats with this final on their minds lately will have done them any good either.

This is a once in a lifetime chance for both sides and in situatons like this i tend to favour the underdogs as they have a lot less expectancy on their shoulders, we must also remember Pompey no longer have Benjani who himself was instrumental in their great start to the season and his very able replacement Defoe is cup tied for this game which leaves Porstmouth very limited attacking options here.

I'm not saying Cardiff will lift the cup but they are more than capable of making a game of this as they have some wily old pro's at the club who gave 120% in the semi knowing this will probably be the last big game of their careers and I expect them to do the same tomorrow.

I fancy the draw tomorrow allthough I'f i were to have a bet I'd be laying Portsmouth at odds on , after that its just a lottery as it could well go to Penalties .
