Former Pompey man believes Redknapp's side will triumph

Fulham defender Dejan Stefanovic has tipped his former club Portsmouth to claim victory over Roy Hodgson's men. The Cottagers have their Premier League future in their own hands and a win at FA Cup finalists Portsmouth would see them avoid the dreaded drop. However, Reading and Birmingham City will be keen to pounce on any potential slip-up from Hodgson's side as they look to secure their own safety. And Stefanovic, who joined Fulham from Pompey last summer but has not played since January, has feels it will be his former club that triumphs on Sunday. "I think it is going to be difficult to pick up all three points. I think we will be lucky to get a point," he said in The News.

Survival

"Pompey have lost their last three games and it was a draw before that. They will want to have a win going into the FA Cup final. "I know [Portsmouth manager] Harry Redknapp and what his teams are like. Pompey always want to win at home whatever the game is. I think it will be tough to take a result. "The players are not bad here. It is a squad which can just about survive, if they are lucky. But if you ask me 'Who is going to win?' I think it will be Portsmouth." Stefanovic also confirmed his intention to part company with Fulham, adding: "I've said I will be leaving in the summer whatever happens on Sunday."
