- Derby County have the most dropped points from leading position (7) in Championship
Sheffield United have less rest than Derby County in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Carabao Cup game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Bramall Lane. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Derby County have had more rest.
Sheffield United form and stats
Sheffield United have played 4 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Southampton (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) in the Carabao Cup last time out and are looking for a win here. Defender Jayden Bogle got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.32/10. Bogle served one assist, hit one key pass and won 9 of 15 duels.
In the game before, an away victory in the Championship match versus Hull City with a 3-1 scoreline.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sheffield matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and three defeats (from seven games).
There will be little rest for Sheffield after this match as they are travelling to Middlesbrough for a Championship game in only three days.
Goals decide football matches and Sheffield United are scoring many of them at home; 9 on target from 4 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.
Derby County form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
The supporters enjoyed County's previous game versus Stoke City (placed 5th), a Championship 2-1 win played at home. Midfield player Graeme Shinnie was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.64/10. Shinnie signed up for two assists and hit two key passes.
A 0-0 draw at West Bromwich Albion's stadium before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Derby County playing away, we found four games. Results were two away wins, zero draws and two home wins.
After this away game County return home for a Championship game against Reading. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Derby County are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. As opposed to that, Derby County have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
