Derby County vs Portsmouth Match Analysis & Prediction
13/12/2024 11:00 pm
Portsmouth will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five matches when they travel to Pride Park to face fellow newly-promoted side Derby County in the Championship on Friday night.
The visitors are sitting just outside the relegation zone on goal difference, while the hosts are four points better off in 16th position.
Derby County have gone six successive league matches without a win since they recorded their most recent victory over Coventry City on November 6.
However, Paul Warne would have been satisfied with Derby’s dogged performance in Tuesday’s away encounter with Burnley, with Derby battling hard to hold the promotion hopefuls to a goalless draw, bringing an end to a three-game losing run.
Meanwhile, after 14 league matches, Portsmouth were languishing at the bottom of the table with nine points to their name and six points separating them from safety.
However, Portsmouth have since embarked on a positive run of form, putting together a four-game unbeaten streak to move out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
John Mousinho’s side posted home wins over Preston North End and Bristol City on either side of a 2-2 draw in their away encounter with Swansea City.
Pompey were unable to secure their third successive home win in midweek, but they would have been content to hold Norwich City to a goalless draw as they recorded back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since January.
