Portsmouth vs Derby Predictions

• Derby have won eight of 12 visits to teams outside the top 10
• Portsmouth have taken one point from the last 12 available
• The hosts have lost their last three home matches

Rams can continue their playoff charge

Derby County’s hopes of finishing in the top six were dented with a defeat at Millwall last week, but the Rams can continue their playoff charge when they head to Fratton Park on Monday night.

Derby are yet to win an away game against the top 10, which doesn’t bode well for their chances of winning the playoffs, but the Rams are a much better proposition against the league’s weaker outfits.

The visitors have won eight of their 12 visits to teams outside the top 10. Despite that, they’re outsiders for a clash with a Portsmouth side who have lost three of their last four games, and their previous three outings at Fratton Park.

The hosts have suffered eight defeats at home this season, and they’ve won none of their last seven league clashes with Derby.

The Rams have an impressive scoring return on the road, and they should have enough in the final third to overcome the sixth-bottom hosts.
