Recommended bet: Both teams to score
Portsmouth are locked in an extremely competitive race to avoid the drop in the Championship and their usually solid home form has deserted them recently.
They need to turn things around as they host Derby, who have lost ground in the race for the play-offs after three defeats in their last five games.

Prediction
Portsmouth have been struggling of late, losing three of their last four games, and with some of the teams around them in the Championship relegation battle picking up wins, this clash with Derby is starting to feel like a crucial one.
The Rams have not been in much better form themselves, losing three of their last five, and have lost ground in the race for the top six as a result.
It is hard to be overly confident about Portsmouth at such a short price but the visitors have not been much better and the safer play looks to be both teams to score.
Both teams have found the net in five of Pompey’s last six outings and Derby have not kept a clean sheet in their last five games so expect plenty of goalmouth action at both ends at Fratton Park between two teams who are routed by injuries at present.
Back Both teams to score at 4/5 with LiveScore Bet.
