Derby County Preview – Can Derby back up at Pride Park?
Derby County ended a run of 4 matches in the Championship last weekend when they registered a 3-1 win away from home at Sheffield Wednesday which will now give The Rams belief that they can follow that win up with a result at Pride Park on Sunday afternoon.
Recent defeats to Bristol City and QPR had threatened to undo all of Derby’s good work beforehand but it should be noted that both of these defeats were away from home, while at home, The Rams have produced some solid displays which has seen the hosts put together a 6-match unbeaten run.
Indeed, Derby County have been very hard to beat at home as their overall home record of 9-7-2 25/13 indicates, and recent wins against Charlton Athletic, Barnsley, Hull City and Stoke City will give The Rams confidence in getting something out of this clash against Blackburn.
Blackburn Rovers Preview – Can Blackburn extend unbeaten run?
Blackburn’s unbeaten run in the Championship extended to 5 matches with last weekend’s 2-2 draw at home with Swansea City but it wasn’t enough to prevent Blackburn from dropping down to 9th place in the second tier.
Recent wins against Hull City 3-0 at home and a 2-0 win on the road at Charlton Athletic along with points picked up in draws with Brentford, Stoke City and Swansea City have helped Blackburn up into the top half of the Championship and the fringes of the play-off pack as Rovers trail 6th placed Preston North End prior to this encounter.
The visitors also bring a 4-match unbeaten run on the road too which includes wins at Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic, but Rovers have won just 2 of their last 6 on their travels amidst an overall away record of 6-3-8 28/26 which shows a level of inconsistency.
