Derby County form and stats

Derby County's results here at Pride Park Stadium in the Championship have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

Derby County faced defeat in their previous match, away at Chorley (0-2). Prior to that, an away loss at Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship.

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 eleven games) they have won seven times, drawn one and lost three.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for County, as the Championship home game vs AFC Bournemouth is only three days away.

County have scored 5 goals here in 11 league matches, a depressing statistic. On the other hand, County have conceded 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Rotherham United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Rotherham United so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-7 (win-draw-lose). A depressing seven defeats in a row for Rotherham United in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Nottingham Forest.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Rotherham, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Everton (after extra-time). The game before that, in the Championship, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Barnsley.

Rotherham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and four defeats. From a total of eight matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Rotherham are hosting Stoke City in the Championship only three days away.

The attacking power of Rotherham when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. Rotherham United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Derby County-Rotherham United H2H statistics last nine meetings regardless of arena: Derby County four wins, Rotherham United two wins, three draws. six of these nine matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
