Saturday 13th February 2016 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Derby County are fast running out of time if they’re to mount a serious challenge for an automatic promotion berth up to the Premier League as they’ve now gone seven matches without a win and even three points this afternoon won’t lift them any higher than their current play-off pack place.
Derby sit in fifth spot despite this poor run of form which has ultimately cost former manager Paul Clement his job with former Rams defender Darren Wassall now at the helm. Defeats to Middlesbrough, Birmingham City and Burnley have slowed them down while draws against Leeds United, Reading, Preston North End and Fulham have simply not been enough.
However, Derby’s home record at the iPro Stadium still remains at a strong 7-6-2 24/12 and the fact remains they’ve lost just once in their last twelve on home turf. The Rams’ attacking personnel includes Martin, Russell and Ince and they’ll be looking to make an impact here today.
Visitors MK Dons haven’t fared much better in recent times as they’ve managed just one win from their last seven matches overall which was a 1-0 home win over Reading at their stadium:mk. Aside from that rare win though, The Dons have struggled throughout the season in the Championship while their away record has seen them win just once all term.
MK Dons’ away record stands at 1-5-9 10/22 and their one win was registered in a 4-1 win at Rotherham United in their first away match in their first season at this level, but it’s been steadily going downhill since!
