Recent respective form guides
Derby County's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Rams have scored 5, a worringly large 19 have been leaked at the other end.
Sheff. Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 10 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Derby County find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 4 games have yielded only 1 points. Sheff. Utd.'s total of 7 points from their 4 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.
