Two promoted sides, Derby County and Portsmouth will be looking to stay in the Championship beyond this season. They are set to meet as the competition goes into matchday 42, with 17th-placed Portsmouth hosting 21st placed Derby. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Portsmouth will welcome a return home after playing their last two matches on the road, and losing both. Their home form has been great, John Mousinho’s side winning 10 of the last 14 home league games.

This explains why they’ll be looking forward to this encounter. A 1-0 loss at Coventry City last time out left Pompey just three points above the relegation zone.

Derby County sit above the bottom three on goal difference ahead of this game. Their run of four straight wins was followed by two straight winless outings in the run up to this game.

The Rams first lost 1-0 to Swansea before drawing 0-0 with Burnley in their latest match. An encounter with Portsmouth gives them a chance to bounce back, completing a double after winning the reverse fixture 4-0.

However, this will call for massive improvement on their away form, which reads just two wins in the league this season. Of their 20 Championship matches on the road, Derby County lost 13 times.
