Derby County form and stats

Derby County have collected 37 points from their Championship home games so far after 10-7-2.

A good away victory last time out for County, who won 3-2 against Millwall (placed 11th). Before that, County had a home game versus Blackburn Rovers which ended with a victory 3-0.

Louie Sibley was absolutely essential when County beat Millwall 3-2, scoring three goals.

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 County have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won nine times, drawn four and lost three.

There will be little rest for County after this match as they are travelling to Preston North End for a Championship game in only four days.

County has scored 28 league goals at home this season, in 19 matches. County have only conceded 13 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
