Portsmouth host Derby County with a form that has seen them score just 5 goals in their last 3 matches, but concede as many as 6. Meanwhile, Derby County have scored only 3 and conceded 7 in their last 3. These numbers suggest both sides are struggling defensively and are inconsistent in attack, especially Derby County, who are winless in 5 consecutive matches and just lost 0-3 in their latest outing. In the last 6 head-to-head meetings, 4 have ended with a total of 2 goals or fewer (0-1, 1-1, 2-2, 2-2, 1-1, 4-0), and those 4 include 2 where Portsmouth were the home side. So this match has a high chance of being tight, with goals unlikely to exceed 2.5. The first thing to watch after kickoff is Portsmouth's defense, which concedes 26% of its total goals during the 31-45 minute period. If they concede before halftime, the game will open up quickly.
