Portsmouth vs Derby Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.53 expected goals for Portsmouth and 1.02 for Derby, a combined total of 2.55. That distribution gives Portsmouth the largest share of the 1X2 market at 49%, with the draw at 26%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 47% for over 2.5 goals and 50% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 49% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Portsmouth win, at 49.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 50% and over 2.5 goals at 47%.
A 49% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
