Portsmouth v Derby County on TV: Schedule, TV channels and live stream | OneFootball

FLW takes a look at how supporters can watch Portsmouth v Derby County on Monday evening.

Portsmouth face Derby County on Monday evening as the race for survival and the play-offs heats up in the Championship, bringing to an end a frantic three-game week that has seen new stories written up and down the division.

Pompey were beaten 2-1 by Swansea City on Tuesday evening, and they have now picked up just one point in their last four games, with those below them in the relegation zone finding form late on. Oxford United, who are 22nd, are now just two points behind the Hampshire outfit, and a victory against the Rams is now vital.

Meanwhile, John Eustace's team lost 1-0 to Millwall at The Den in mid-week. The East Midlands outfit are three points off the top six, but they have played one more game than Wrexham, and it is of huge importance that they win at Fratton Park to ensure that the Red Dragons do not create a larger gap.

Now, Football League World has taken a look at all the information needed to watch Monday's clash between Derby and Portsmouth.

Portsmouth v Derby County stat-pack

The Rams head into this clash with a better recent head-to-head record than their opponent, with Portsmouth having not won any of the last 11 league clashes between the two sides (seven draws, four defeats). They last beat Derby in a league game in the Premier League in the 2007/08 campaign 3-1.

However, since the East Midlands outfit were relegated to 2022, six of the seven games between the two sides have ended in a draw. Monday's visitors did pick up an incredible 4-0 win in the Championship against Pompey in December 2024, and they will be hoping to replicate that this time round.

Only Arsenal and Chelsea have a better unbeaten run in the league against Portsmouth than Derby, with the Blues undefeated against Pompey in their last 26 games, while the Gunners have not been beaten by the Hampshire side in their last 18 meetings.

This fixture has ended in a 2-2 draw at Fratton Park in the last two seasons, with Rob Atkinson scoring twice for the South Coast outfit, as well as an own goal, in April 2025.
