Birmingham City form and stats
Birmingham City are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Championship games here at St. Andrew's Stadium.
Birmingham manager L. Bowyer and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Barnsley (placed 14th) in the Championship. Attacking player Lukas Jutkiewicz bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 7.71 out of 10. Jutkiewicz scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Preceding that match was a Carabao Cup defeat to Fulham (0-2).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 Birmingham City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost two.
Birmingham City has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Derby County form and stats
Derby County are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Championship, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
County delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Nottingham Forest (placed 24th) in their previous match; a Championship game. Attacker Tom Lawrence got a player rating of 8.01 in the game. "Man of the match" Lawrence scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 4 of 4 times and had 22 successful passes (of 26 total).
Prior to that match, the County manager W. Rooney faced defeat when travelling to Sheffield United and losing 1-2.County are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, three draws and nine defeats. From a total of 15 matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the County manager W. Rooney as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against West Bromwich Albion.
It's early days yet, but Derby County has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
