- Venue: iPro Stadium
Two sides separated by four places and four points in the English second division go head to head on Friday afternoon as Derby County play host to Portsmouth.
Derby County have not won since 6 November, when they beat Coventry City 2:1 away from home. They have played six games since then, losing three and drawing three. But Paul Warne's side will go into this week's game full of confidence after picking up a clean sheet and a point at Turf Moor in midweek.
Portsmouth's form has been the complete opposite of their hosts', with the Blue Army going into Friday's game on a four-game unbeaten run (two wins and two draws). They also kept a clean sheet in each of their last two encounters and will be looking to produce a similar defensive display this week.
Derby County vs Portsmouth Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Derby County did keep a clean sheet against Burnley last time out, but that was a rare occurrence and the Rams have not been defensively sound at the iPro Stadium in recent times. Indeed, Warne's men failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last four home games. Bets on over 2.5 goals won in each of the last two.
Portsmouth have one of the worst defensive records in the Championship this season. Only Plymouth and Luton Town have conceded more goals than the Blue Army on the road in this division this season, and John Mousinho's side are yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this season.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Derby County vs Portsmouth prediction: 2-1

Derby County team news
Derby County remain without the services of Tawanda Chirewa and Ryan Nyambe who have been out since October due to thigh and knee injuries, respectively.
The pair is being accompanied in the treatment room by David Ozoh who has missed the last 15 games due to a hamstring injury.
Having suffered no fresh injuries in the draw with Burnley last time out, head coach Paul Warne is likely to resist the temptation to make alterations to his XI.
