Our prediction for this match: Portsmouth 1 - 1 Derby
Portsmouth vs Derby Preview
Portsmouth and Derby County go head to head at Fratton Park in what promises to be a close Championship encounter, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. Portsmouth’s squad struggles with injuries, which showed in their 2-1 loss to Swansea, and they will be without key contributors. The home side have managed just a 20% win rate at Fratton Park, scoring an average of 1.0 goal per home game while conceding the same. BTTS has occurred in 40% of their home matches, and clean sheets are rare at 20%.
Derby County travel with slightly better form, winning two of their last three away games despite a 1-0 loss at Millwall. The Rams score 1.8 goals per match on average, conceding 1.6 in away fixtures. H2H history favors high-scoring encounters, with 93% of clashes seeing over 1.5 goals and 79% featuring both teams on the scoresheet. First-choice goalkeeper Josh Vickers out of contention for Derby after picking up a knock in a 1-0 loss to Millwall, which definitely supports our betting angle.
As recent form and H2H suggest goals, Over 1.5 goals is our main betting tip, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 9.5 corners.
This Championship match will be played on Monday, 16 March 2026 at 20:00.
