◆ CheckLive verdict
Slight edge — Portsmouth
Derby County take a narrow edge despite a winless run that stretches five games. Six of eight meetings with Portsmouth have been drawn, away sides claimed both wins, and Derby took the latest 1-0 — enough for a 57-percent lean, modest, not commanding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who will win between Portsmouth and Derby County?
CheckLive's read favours Derby County, but only narrowly. The Rams are winless in five, yet they won the latest meeting 1-0 and six of the last eight against Portsmouth were draws. Too close for confidence.
Which side enters this match in better form?
Form favours no one — Portsmouth have one win in five, Derby have none. Derby's overall read is slightly stronger, helped by a better head-to-head record and a steadier mental edge at this level.
Will both teams score at Fratton Park?
Head-to-head average is 2.4 goals and the latest meeting finished Portsmouth 0-1 Derby County. Derby County have been scoring little, so BTTS is a moderate lean rather than a certain pick.
