Derby County Preview – Can the Rams pick up first win in five?
Derby County had a poor first half to their season, but they have moved away from trouble since Wayne Rooney took charge. County are in 18th place at the time of writing, seven points clear of the bottom three.
Things have certainly improved at Pride Park, but Derby are not out of the woods just yet. The Rams could do with a win sooner rather than later after just one victory in six. Since winning five of six, the Midlands outfit have taken just five points from their following six.
In midweek, Derby held high-flying Barnsley to a goalless draw at Oakwell. However, the point in Yorkshire extended their winless run to four. Can County get back to winning ways with a crucial three points on home soil this weekend?
Millwall Preview – Will the Lions leave Pride Park with a positive result?
Gary Rowett’s Millwall recently went on a nine-game unbeaten run in the Championship, winning four and drawing five. However, they have gone on to lose two of their following three, with a win over Preston North End sandwiched in between losses to Barnsley and Blackburn Rovers.
Although a top six spot is not out of the question just yet, finishing in the play-off places will be a tall order for Lions. Millwall start the weekend in 11th place with 46 points to their name, 12 points behind sixth-place Barnsley. Overall, Rowett’s troops have won ten, drawn 16 and lost nine.
