Portsmouth v Man U, Portsmouth to win 1st half, 6/1 with Totesport

I am happy to take a gamble here at these odds, against a Man U team that has lost the first half 4 times away from home this season, at Boro, West Ham, and in their last 2 matches at Man City and Blackburn. They seem capable of throwing up some very average performances on the road this season. The defence cannot be playing too confidently after conceding 2 in the first 45 at home to Fulham last weekend. Portsmouth have lead at the break 3 times at home this season, twice in the last 4 and have conceded only 1 fh goal in their last 5 at home. LuaLua should be playing and should give Portsmouth a threat up front that they have missed recently. (This has been a tough fixture for Man U since Portsmouth were promoted, they have lost both visits, 2-0 and 1-0.)
