This fixture stars two participants residing in the lower section of the Championship, Derby County holding 24th spot and Swansea City sitting at 19th. A decent chance for one of the squads to boost their situation.
- Derby County have the fewest matches over the total-line (2) in Championship
- Swansea City have the most conceded goals in the first half (10) in Championship
It's no vacation for neither County nor Swansea City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Derby County form and stats
Derby County have collected 9 points from their Championship home games so far after 2-3-0. Two home wins in a row for County bring valid hopes of a third.
County's last game was hosting Reading (placed 11th) and winning 1-0. County goalkeeper Ryan Allsop did an outstanding job against Reading with seven saves, so vital to securing the victory. The goalie Ryan Allsop was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.14 out of ten. Allsop stopped the opponent with seven saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
Heartbreak before that as County lost 0-1 at Sheffield United's place.This is expected to be a close game, with 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 17 games. Derby County has won four of these, drawn seven and lost six.
County has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Derby County are not conceding a lot of goals here at Pride Park Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 5 matches.
Swansea City form and stats
As the visiting team in Championship matches, Swansea City have produced an overall stat of 1-1-3 so far.
Swansea lost away at Fulham (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. The attacker Jamie Paterson got a match rating of 7.6 in that game. Paterson scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 43 successful passes (of 49 total).
Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Huddersfield Town.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Swansea playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were five Swansea City wins, three draws and three defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Swansea have scored 7 goals in 5 league games away. The Swansea manager R. Martin has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Derby County four wins, three draws and Swansea City three victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
