Portsmouth v Derby County Betting Tips and Predictions

Football predictions and Portsmouth v Derby County betting tips for Wednesday’s Capital One Cup match.

 

On Wednesday night, the first of the televised Capital One Cup games is Portsmouth v Derby. Two title favourites for their respective divisions just a week ago and Portsmouth have done nothing to dissuade punters from backing them whilst Derby laboured to a 0-0 draw at Bolton.

 

Portsmouth v Derby Predictions:

 

Pompey put three past the Daggers on Saturday afternoon and as their new team starts to gel, they should only get stronger. Kyle Bennett scored two fantastic goals and they have plenty more firepower in their ranks. Paul Cook has assembled an impressive team and the first time in three years, they are justifying their tags as favourites.

 

Derby couldn’t get past Bolton and were lucky to hold on for a point in the end with the Trotters hitting the bar three times late on. They lost Will Hughes to injury, he will be missing for six months but they have so much quality in their squad, it’s difficult to write them off at any point this season.

 

However, there are questions about how seriously Paul Clement will take this competition. Having already lost one of key midfielders to injury, he will not want to risk exacerbating any slight knocks and may rest a number of key performers. It may still mean games for the likes of Andreas Weimann, Darren Bent and Craig Forsyth who all started on the bench on Saturday.

 

Both Teams to Score Betting Tip:

 

Both sides have plenty of strength in depth in order to make changes for this game. I can see it being an entertaining affair as Pompey play with plenty of width and Derby have an abundance of pace in their squad. I can see both sides finding the net at some point during the 90 minutes.

 

My first football betting tip for Portsmouth v Derby is both teams to score, the best odds are 8/11 at Ladbrokes.

Portsmouth v Derby Winner Tip:

 

There will inevitably be shocks in the competition and I think this is the perfect recipe for one. Derby can’t afford to miss out on promotion once again and they will do everything within their power to guarantee a top two finish come May. If it means sacrificing potential cup runs, they may make a number of changes which could unbalance the side. The men from the South Coast can take advantage of this.

 

The next football prediction for Portsmouth v Derby County is for Portsmouth to win in 90 mins, take the 7/2 at Betfred.

Anytime Goalscorer Betting Tip:

 

Summer signing Andreas Weimann didn’t get a place in the starting 11 at the weekend, but I think he may be afforded a starting berth here. The Austrian joined from Aston Villa where he was a bright spot in a relatively dark season for the midlands club. He has pace and an eye for goal and although not prolific, he does have a knack of scoring important goals. I think he can find space in the Portsmouth defence and score during the 90 minutes.

 

My last Portsmouth v Derby betting tip is for Andrea Weimann to score anytime at 2/1 with Paddy Power.
