📊 Form Guide
Portsmouth
DWDWWW 📈
Portsmouth, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 1-3 League One victory versus Wycombe Wanderers.
For Portsmouth, goals were scored by Colby Bishop (3', 28') and Christian Saydee (67'). Matt Butcher (7') was the scorer for Wycombe Wanderers.
Their latest results really do illustrate the point that things are going according to plan in the Portsmouth rearguard. Portsmouth have been miserly, with the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their last 6 clashes standing at 3.
A look at their previous results shows us that Portsmouth:
- have not lost a league tie with Derby County in their last 3 matches.
- haven't won against Derby County in their last 7 league games.
- are unbeaten in their last 5 league matches at home.
Derby County
WWWWLW
Derby County go into this encounter following a 1-0 League One win with the downing of Blackpool in their most recent outing.
The only player to score from Derby County was Ebou Adams (40').
A sequence of reliable showings by the Derby County defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their previous 6 outings overall. During the same period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 10. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.
Heading into this fixture, Derby County remain undefeated by Portsmouth when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
🤜🤛 Head to head
