Derby County and Portsmouth had dropped out of their Ligue 1 campaigns ahead of their clash at Pride Park on Saturday.
For the home team, it’s already been a season of ups and downs. Three wins in their first six games is not a bad balance, but without draws and 3 losses, Paul Warne’s team will have to eliminate the poor defense from their game. If they even need to mount a playoff effort, even with the Rams perceived as a team of “eternal bottlers,” they will prepare for the worst.

Portsmouth, meanwhile, is another team that has struggled to get out of the play-offs in recent years. Defeats to Sunderland and Oxford in the 2019 and 2020 play-offs have left them away from home with the top six since.

In the rest of the team, Rooney will be out for most of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury, although Warne admitted the injury was harmless.

On the other hand, Max Bird remains injured, and Louie Sibley, Joe Ward and Tom Barkhuizen are also close to returning but are fully fit.
For Portsmouth, manager John Mousinho has shown that 4 of his stars could miss the game in the Midlands.
Gavin Whyte will be ready for the scale against the Rams after being on the education court during the foreign break, although Anthony Scully will be out of action after receiving knee injections, at least for a few weeks.
