Derby County form and stats

Derby County's first League One home game here at Pride Park Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 13 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats from 23 matches.

A good away victory last time out for County, who won 3-0 against Burton Albion (placed 21st).

Ahead of that result, a home defeat in the Carabao Cup against Blackpool. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Derby County have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 0 and lost 3.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Derby County as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Fleetwood Town are visiting.

Early season league goal statistics from Derby County's 1 home game: {1 goals}, 2 conceded.
