Derby County Preview – Can Derby keep winning run going?
Derby County made an emphatic return to the Championship campaign after a three-month lay-off when they registered a useful 3-2 win away from home at Millwall which extended The Rams’ winning streak to three on the trot and maintained their comfortable mid-table position in the second tier.
Saturday’s hosts currently sit in 12th place but the east midlands outfit could easily be challenging for a play-off spot had their results away from home matches their exploits on home turf at Pride Park as Derby bost a strong record of 10-7-2 28/13 to date.
Previous wins before the lockdown against Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 away and a 3-0 home win against Blackburn Rovers should nevertheless give The Rams confidence in grabbing a fourth win here against Reading as they seek to extend their unbeaten run at home to eight matches.
Reading Preview – Can Reading continue stubborn run?
A mid-season wobble between mid-December to mid-February saw Reading slump to seven matches without a win in the Championship but there’s one thing that can be said about reading and manager, Mark Bowen, is that The Royals possess a great deal of resilience and this has become evident in recent times as the Berkshire outfit have posted subsequent wins against Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Birmingham City which has helped them steer clear of relegation.
Having lost just two of their last 11 matches on the road, Reading have proved that they’re a stubborn bunch and are certainly no mugs on their travels as they’ve picked up earlier wins at Wigan Athletic, 6th placed Preston North End and 3rd placed Fulham, amidst an overall away record of 6-7-6 23/18.
Reading are therefore a very different prospect right now and they could end up frustrating Derby County’s ambitions of picking up a fourth win on the trot on Saturday afternoon.
