Derby County form and stats

Derby County are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Championship games here at Pride Park Stadium. The County manager P. Cocu might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Happy days for County in their previous game, a Championship match away at Norwich City (placed 17th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Preceding that match was the home game against Blackburn Rovers that was lost 0-4.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Derby County as they are travelling to their away game against Huddersfield Town in the Championship. That match is four days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Derby County's 2 home games: 0 goals, 6 conceded.

L W L D D

Watford form and stats

The Championship season is young and Watford have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Watford lost away at Reading (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Luton Town.

0 goals so far away for Watford, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Derby County-Watford H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Derby County six wins, Watford three wins, one draw. nine of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
