Portsmouth 2-2 Derby County

Current streaks

Recent form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been concerning, with the club currently sitting in 17th position in the Championship. The Pompey have struggled to find consistency, winning just two of their last six matches, both by narrow 1-0 margins against Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United. More worryingly, they are currently on a run of two consecutive defeats, having lost to Coventry City and Millwall. Their goal-scoring record has been particularly poor, averaging less than a goal per game in their last six outings. However, they have managed to keep two clean sheets during this period, which could be seen as a positive. The team's defensive record is slightly better than their attacking output, conceding 1.17 goals per game. Interestingly, half of Portsmouth's recent matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting a degree of unpredictability in their performances.

Derby County

Derby County have shown a significant improvement in form recently, with an impressive run of four consecutive victories before their most recent two matches. Despite their current 21st position in the Championship, the Rams have displayed resilience, scoring nine goals whilst conceding only four in their last six games. Their defensive solidity is particularly noteworthy, with three clean sheets during this period and a miserly average of 0.67 goals conceded per game. The 3-2 away win against Plymouth Argyle stands out as a high-scoring encounter, showcasing Derby's attacking prowess. However, their momentum has slightly waned with a draw against Burnley and a narrow 1-0 loss to Swansea in their two most recent fixtures. Derby's recent form suggests they are fighting hard to climb out of the relegation zone, with their goal difference of +5 over the last six matches indicating a team performing above their current league position.

Recent home/away form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth have been in impressive form at home recently, winning four of their last six matches at Fratton Park. The Pompey have shown resilience in defence, keeping three clean sheets during this period and conceding only 0.67 goals per game. Their recent run includes a streak of three consecutive home victories against Leeds United, Queens Park Rangers, and Cardiff City. While their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, it has been sufficient to secure positive results. Interestingly, half of their recent home matches have seen both teams score, with an even split between games featuring under and over 2.5 goals. Despite their strong home form, Portsmouth's overall league position (17th) suggests they have struggled more in away fixtures.

Derby County

Derby County's away form has been particularly poor in recent matches, with the Rams struggling to find consistency on their travels. In their last six away games, Derby have managed just one win, against Plymouth Argyle, while suffering four defeats and securing a solitary draw. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 11 goals in these six matches, with a concerning average of 1.83 goals conceded per game. A particularly heavy defeat came against Queens Park Rangers, where Derby were thrashed 4-0, highlighting their vulnerability away from home. The Rams have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these away fixtures, and their goal-scoring record is also underwhelming, having found the net just five times in six matches. This poor run of form has contributed to Derby's precarious league position, currently sitting in 21st place with 42 points from 41 games, leaving them in danger of relegation from the Championship.
