Derby and Portsmouth have both been up and down lately, each winning their most recent match but also losing heavily in another recent game. Portsmouth have had a couple of rough results mixed in with draws, while Derby have managed a few draws and wins but were also beaten badly in one match. Neither team looks clearly stronger right now.

When these two have met recently, the games have been tight and low-scoring for the most part, with a lot of draws and only one match with more than two goals. This looks like a close, cagey game that could easily end level. My call is a draw.
