Derby County form and stats

Derby County have played three Championship home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

In their previous game, the manager P. Cocu led his Derby County to a defeat in the Championship match away at Brentford. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Pride Park Stadium. A Carabao Cup defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Nottingham Forest.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Derby County have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 7 Lost 3.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Derby County here at Pride Park Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). On the other hand, Derby County have conceded 3 goals.

Cardiff City form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Championship for Cardiff City with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

There were no winners in Cardiff City's previous match, a Championship home game that ended 1-1 vs Fulham (placed 6th). A 0-3 loss hosting Luton Town before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cardiff City playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 2 Cardiff City wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cardiff City as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. For Cardiff City, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
