In the 42nd round match of League One, Portsmouth will play at home against Derby County. The match prediction for these teams has been prepared by analysts at Dailysports.
Portsmouth
Portsmouth is racing full throttle towards a return to the Championship after 12 years of playing in the third and fourth tiers. John Mousinho's team sits in first place with 86 points, holding an 11-point lead over third place. Nothing can now prevent their promotion. Portsmouth has not lost in League One for 13 consecutive matches, and in the previous round, they defeated Wycombe 3-1.
Derby County
Derby County is right behind Portsmouth in the league standings, occupying second place. The Rams have a six-point lead over Bolton, but it's premature to celebrate as the Wanderers have one game in hand. In the previous round, Derby won their home match against Blackpool 1-0.

Portsmouth vs Derby County prediction
