This match features two teams living in the basement of the Championship, Derby County holding 24th place and Coventry City lying 20th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Derby County has the fewest scored goals (6) in Championship
- Coventry City has the most conceded goals (24) in Championship
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Derby County form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Championship this season. Derby County, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Championship, have only managed 0 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Pride Park Stadium. All in all it has been a very rough period for County who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Norwich City, 59 days ago. County are slowly digging their own grave here at Pride Park Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Reading match.
The spoils were shared in County's previous game, also at home. Visiting Wycombe Wanderers (placed 22nd) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as County lost 0-3 at Middlesbrough's place.
This is expected to be a close game, with Derby County perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Derby County as a small favourite), we find 15 games. County has won four of these, drawn eight and lost three.
There will be little rest for County after this match as they are travelling to Millwall for a Championship game in only four days.
County has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 7 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Derby County defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Coventry City form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Coventry City, who have the most conceded goals (24) in Championship, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose).
Coventry has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Norwich City for a Championship game that ended a draw (1-1). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Cardiff City.
The draw against Norwich City came from a losing position. The Coventry City manager M. Robins brought on Maxime Biamou as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Coventry City playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were six Coventry City wins, five draws and five defeats.
A new game in only four days for Coventry, the Championship home match versus Rotherham United. Busy days.
The attacking power of Coventry when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Coventry City have conceded 12 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Derby County five wins, three draws and Coventry City two victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
