Derby County

Derby County's recent form shows a concerning downturn, with the team currently experiencing a three-game losing streak in the Championship. This slump comes after a promising period where they secured back-to-back wins, including an impressive 3-0 victory over Bristol City. The Rams have struggled to find the back of the net lately, failing to score in two of their last three matches. Despite their current 13th position in the league, Derby's defensive record remains fairly solid, with three clean sheets in their last six games across all competitions. The team's goal difference stands at zero, indicating a balance between their attacking output and defensive performance. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only 17% of Derby's recent matches, while 67% of their games have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards lower-scoring encounters.

Queens Park Rangers

Queens Park Rangers are currently experiencing a challenging period, as evidenced by their 19th position in the league table and recent form. The team is on a three-game winless streak in the Championship, with two losses and a draw in their last three league matches. Their last victory came against Luton Town on August 30th, which was their only win in the past six games across all competitions. QPR's defensive struggles are apparent, having conceded 10 goals in their last six matches and failing to keep a clean sheet during this period. The team's goal-scoring has also been inconsistent, averaging just one goal per game. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of QPR's recent matches, suggesting that while they're finding the net, they're also vulnerable defensively. The 3-1 loss to Hull City in their most recent game stands out as the highest-scoring match in this run, highlighting the team's defensive frailties.
