Level 1 Bet Builder Tip
🚩 Over 5.5 Derby Corners
📈 Odds: 1.60
Derby have won 6 or more corners in 7 of their 9 home games this season, with their overall average being 6.33.
Portsmouth’s opponents on the road have been awarded an average of 7.56 corners, but 6 or more have only actually been covered 4 times out of 9. With that said, we still fancy Derby to cover this bet.
🥅 Both Teams to Score
📈 Odds: 1.91
The Rams are a good bet for a goal at Pride Park, given they have scored in every Championship home game this season, whilst Portsmouth are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road this season.
The only question mark then to cover this bet seems to be whether Portsmouth will be able to score. They have scored in 7 out of their 9 away games. Derby have kept 4 clean sheets at home, but none in the last 5.
🛑 Eiran Cashin to Commit 1+ Fouls
📈 Odds: 1.33
The Irish defender has a big future, almost securing a move to Brighton last season which fell through.
Cashin has started 4 of Derby’s last 5 home games, committing 6 fouls in process, and at least 1 in each of them. He is likely to be in the vicinity of Callum Lang and Matt Ritchie, the former has drawn a foul in each of Pompey’s last 5 away games.
🛑 Marcus Harness to Commit 2+ Fouls
📈 Odds: 1.29
Harness is not perhaps the first player who would spring to mind for being a player who is good for a foul, but he is actually averaging 2.5 fouls per 90 in the Championship this season.
He has started 4 of Derby’s last 5 home games, committing 2 fouls in each of them, and he may be extra eager against his former club under the lights at Pride Park.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip
🚩 Over 6.5 Derby Corners
📈 Odds: 2.10
Derby have been awarded 7 or more corners in 4 of their 9 home games this season, and 2 of the 4 times when they have played against teams below them in the table.
Portsmouth concede on average 7 corners per game away from home.
🛑 Curtis Nelson to Commit 1+ Fouls
📈 Odds: 1.57
The experienced centre back has started every game for Derby County this season, playing every minute. Within those 20 games, he has committed 18 fouls.
This bet would have landed in 4 of Derby’s last 5 games, and 4 of their last 5 home games.
🛑 Nathaniel Mendez-Laing to Commit 1+ Fouls
📈 Odds: 1.53
Mendez-Laing was a key figure in helping Derby to promotion last season, with 9 goals and 16 assists. We always think of him as a player who is too good for League One, but hit and miss in the second tier.
He has started each of Derby’s last 5 home games, committing 6 fouls in total, and covering this bet on 4 out of 5 occasions.
🛑 Freddie Potts to Commit 1+ Fouls
📈 Odds: 1.80
West Ham loanee Potts has managed to establish himself as a regular in Portsmouth’s midfield.
He has started Pompey’s last 5 games, and last 5 away games, committing 1+ foul in 4/5 in both sets of games. He will be in and around Ebou Adams, who draws 1.9 fouls per 90.
