Derby have only suffered one defeat this season but the Rams have been struggling in front of goal.

Can they come up with a big three points at home on the weekend as they face a tough fixture?

This is a clash between two of the three relegated teams from last season’s Championship.

Peterborough have been ticking along with some great momentum recently. They will be looking for their third straight league win.

DERBY PREVIEW – RAMS TO MAINTAIN 100% HOME RECORD?

It has been two wins from two for Derby this season on home turf in League One.

The Rams took a costly tumble from the Championship last season.

But they haven’t quite got up to speed in League One, despite those two home wins.

The overall record for Derby in League One this season is D2 D2 L1.

Derby’s home victories happened against Barnsley and Oxford.

Those are teams who are down 16th or lower currently after five rounds of action.

So there are much stiffer tests against them, but the Rams are 10/11 favourites at Betfair to win the game.

In total, they have produced just three goals all season.

So that is where the clear shortfall has been for them, but it points to a low-scoring affair on Saturday.

Our betting prediction:
Draw/Draw HT/FT
5/1

PETERBOROUGH PREVIEW – POSH HANDLING THE DROP?

Without question, Peterborough have been handling life down in League One better than Derby this season.

The Posh have posted a great W4 L1 record.

The one victory that they suffered happened at Plymouth, a 2-0 loss.

For reference, Plymouth are a current top-five side, so no disgrace in that one.

In the match outright, the win for Peterborough is at 3/1 with Betfair*

In each game aside from that loss to Plymouth, Peterborough have scored at least two goals.

Their actual average for the season is at 2.40 goals per game.

Peterborough hold a slight edge in the head to head across the most recent meetings.

They are W3 D1 L2 against the Rams in the last six.

However, we can break down the trend in that one because there has been a clear direction.

Four of the last five league meetings between Peterborough and Derby have ended in a win for the home team on the day (D1).

The home team has scored at least two goals in four of the last six meetings.

Will that hold true with Derby’s goal-shy state? This should be a fascinating clash.

 

DERBY VS PETERBOROUGH BETTING TIPS

That drives our first selection to the draw in the match outright at 5/2*
