League one returns with another round of action as Portsmouth hosts Derby County at Fratton Park on Friday.

The home side, Portsmouth have been fairly inconsistent of late as they have struggled greatly to win games. This bad run of performances has seen them with 2 heavy losses and 3 draws from their last 6 league games. To add to their woes, Portsmouth remain winless in their last 4 home games and this will be a major cause for concern for them. All four of those games ended in a draw, showing that regardless of the backing of their home fans, portsmouth are unable to build on that momentum.

The visitors on the other hand, Derby County, will head into this game on the back of a 5-0 thrashing over Torquay United in the FA cup and will be looking to build on that momentum. Their last game in the league also saw them cruised to a 3-1 victory over MK Dons and they'll be hoping for another league victory over their hosts. Derby county are currently on a very good run of performances as their efforts has seen them on a 7-game unbeaten streak in all competitions and are also on a 4 game unbeaten streak in League one as well. Looking at their past 6 games in the league has shown that Derby county has had 3 massive wins and 2 draws with only 1 loss. What an incredible run of games. They also have an incredible away form as they have been unbeaten in their last 4 league games on the road.

Looking at key numbers in this fixture has shown that Derby county has the upper hand. of the 97 times these two have met, Derby come out on top with 42 wins over their hosts while Portsmouth has 35 with 20 draws. Looking at their last 5 games together, Derby county has also come out on top with 3 wins and a draw, while portsmouth has only 1 win. We are backing the visitors here and we predict that Derby county will do enough to avoid a defeat by earning a draw or by taking all three points with a narrow win.

主队朴茨茅斯最近表现得相当不稳定，因为他们很难赢得比赛。这种糟糕的表现让他们在最近的6场联赛中2负3平。更糟糕的是，朴茨茅斯在最近的4场主场比赛中没有赢过一场，这将是他们担心的主要原因。这四场比赛都以平局告终，这表明，尽管有主场球迷的支持，朴茨茅斯也无法继续保持这种势头。

另一方面，客队德比郡在足总杯5-0大胜托基联之后，将在这场比赛中继续保持这种势头。他们在联赛中的最后一场比赛也见证了他们以3-1的比分战胜了MK敦斯，他们希望在联赛中再次战胜他们的东道主。德比郡目前的表现非常好，他们在各项赛事中保持了7场不败，在英甲联赛中也保持了4场不败。看看他们过去在联赛中的6场比赛就会发现，德比郡取得了3胜2平仅1负的成绩。这是一场令人难以置信的比赛。他们也有一个不可思议的客场状态，因为他们在最近的4场联赛客场保持不败。

从这场比赛的关键数据来看，德比郡队占据了上风。在这两支球队97次交手中，德比以42胜的战绩高居榜首，朴茨茅斯35胜20平。回顾他们最近的5场比赛，德比郡也以3胜1平的成绩位居榜首，而朴茨茅斯只有1胜。我们在这里支持客队，我们预测德比郡将会通过一场平局或以一场险胜拿下全部三分来避免失利。
