2.59Tip and bets
Derby County will undoubtedly be in a determined mood today – their opponents are a direct competitor, the relegation zone is in close proximity. In all 10 home games this season, the Rams have scored and Portsmouth are unlikely to be able to end this streak. However, Pompey have recently gained good form and regularly score, an exchange of goals is quite likely.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.91
Bet on the outcome
Derby County are 17th in the table after six matches without a win, and a few more mistakes could result in a drop into the relegation zone. It is obvious that in a match against a direct competitor, the Rams will strive to take the maximum, and in general, the task is quite feasible for them - Portsmouth is inferior in terms of selection of players, and Pompey are traditionally extremely vulnerable away from home.
The bet is Derby County to win. This bet is offered at 1.95
Bet on corners
Derby County are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
The bet is Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Derby County. This bet is offered for 1.89
