Derby County Preview – Can Derby show pride at Pride Park?
Derby County will be hoping that the aptly named Pride Park will instill some much-needed confidence and belief in the hosts as they prepare for the visit of newly-promoted Leeds United at home in Sunday’s clash as the hosts look to end a four-match winless run in the Championship.
A 1-1 draw at home with east midlands rivals, Nottingham Forest was a decent result but what followed has been a massive dent to Derby’s previous hopes of a possible top six finish and a place in the play-offs as The Rams were handed three defeats on the trot against West Brom, Brentford and Cardiff City, in what has been a tough set of fixtures.
The hosts now face another tough task in the shape of Championship leaders, Leeds United, despite being at home but Derby will be hoping they can rekindle some of their previous form which saw the east midlands side put together an impressive nine-match sequence without defeat prior to losing to Brentford, and included six wins, while they’ve lost just two of their last 20 at Pride Park.
Leeds United Preview – Can Leeds grab fifth win on trot?
Leeds United will be hoping that they can celebrate their promotion back to the Premier League by capturing a fifth league win on the trot in the Championship when they make their way down to the east midlands to take on Derby County at Pride Park.
A recent four-match winning streak maintained Leeds’s position at the top of the Championship and the pressure was too much for 2nd placed West Brom as they stumbled to a 2-1 defeat away at Huddersfield Town which handed promotion to Leeds prior to this weekend’s action.
Wins against Blackburn Rovers, Stoke City, Swansea City and Barnsley helped secure Leeds’s path back to the big-time, but with just four wins from their last nine matches on their travels, the visitors may not be guaranteed an easy ride at Pride Park this Sunday.
