The newly promoted side improved on Tuesday and held promotion-chasing Burnley to a goalless away draw. Derby had only 6 shots and 32% possession but held on for a point.

Derby Injuries

Midfielders David Ozoh and Tawanda Chirewa could return to the fold following recent injuries.

Defender Ryan Nyambe is injured and unlikely to feature on Friday.

Portsmouth Form

Portsmouth have clawed themselves out of the Championship relegation zone following a four-match unbeaten run. Pompey are outside the drop zone on goal difference.

The South Coast team began their unbeaten streak with a 3-1 home win over Preston. A 2-2 draw at Swansea and a 3-0 triumph against Bristol City followed.

John Mousinho’s side put in another strong performance during a 0-0 stalemate against Norwich. Pompey had 15 shots, limited Norwich to five attempts and had to settle for a draw.

Portsmouth Injuries

Defenders Ibane Bowat, Jacob Farrell and Jordan Williams are carrying injuries and will miss out here.

Midfielder Conor Shaughnessy and goalkeeper Will Norris are injured and unavailable.

Forward duo Mark O’Mahony and Kusini Yengi are also ruled out here through injury.

Verdict

Derby v Portsmouth

Derby will want to build on a solid away point at Burnley and Portsmouth head north in strong form. This is likely to be a cagey clash between two sides in need of points and a draw looks the best pick.
