Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Portsmouth to Win1/1Portsmouth have started the season strongly and should make home advantage count against a Derby side still searching for their first win. The Rams conceded three goals at home on Saturday and have looked vulnerable defensively.
Derby’s recent record against Pompey is impressive, but Portsmouth have the momentum and attacking quality to end that run. With the hosts unbeaten in their league games so far, a home win looks the standout play.
Sondre Langas to be carded3/1Norwegian defender Sondre Langas has found his way into the book in four of his last five Championship matches for Derby County. That run includes bookings against Swansea on Saturday and Charlton on the opening weekend of the campaign. At 3/1 he’s a solid proposition to be carded on Tuesday.

How Portsmouth go into the game

Portsmouth were edged 2-1 at Bristol City at the weekend, a narrow defeat on the road. Fratton Park will demand a response.

Pompey are dangerous and well-backed at home, and confidence will still be high. Three points against a wounded Derby is the aim.

How Derby go into the game

Derby were hammered 3-0 at home by Swansea at the weekend, a chastening afternoon. A response is badly needed on the road.

The Rams are dangerous going forward but were dreadful last time. A trip to a raucous Fratton Park is a real test.
