Recent form
Derby County
Derby County's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Rams have shown resilience at home, securing a vital 2-1 victory against West Brom in their most recent outing, and impressively thrashing Portsmouth 4-0 earlier in December. However, their away form has been less convincing, suffering defeats at Luton Town and Leeds United. Derby's defensive record has been fairly solid, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game over the last six matches and keeping two clean sheets. Interestingly, 67% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting they've been involved in some entertaining encounters. Despite their mixed results, Derby have managed to maintain a positive goal difference of 1 during this period, indicating their ability to compete even in a challenging 14th position in the Championship table.
Leeds United
Leeds United have been in impressive form recently, showcasing their dominance in the Championship as they currently sit atop the table with 48 points from 23 games. The Whites are enjoying a strong run of four wins in their last five matches, with their only blemish being a narrow 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers. Their attacking prowess has been evident, netting 12 goals in their last six outings, including a commanding 4-0 victory over Oxford United. Defensively, Leeds have been equally impressive, conceding just three goals in this period and keeping three clean sheets. The team's resilience is highlighted by their current five-game unbeaten streak, suggesting they've quickly bounced back from their sole recent loss. With 67% of their recent matches seeing under 2.5 goals, Leeds are demonstrating a balanced approach, combining solid defence with efficient attacking to maintain their position at the summit of the Championship.

Recent home/away form
Derby County
Derby County have shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six matches producing two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Rams have enjoyed a positive upturn in their most recent fixtures, securing back-to-back victories against West Brom and Portsmouth. Notably, their 4-0 thrashing of Portsmouth stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter, demonstrating Derby's attacking potential. Despite their mid-table position, the team have been involved in some entertaining matches, with 67% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals. Derby's defence has been somewhat leaky, keeping only one clean sheet in their last six home outings, but they've managed to outscore their opponents overall with 10 goals for and 7 against. The fact that both teams have scored in 83% of these matches suggests that fans at Pride Park have been treated to some exciting football.
Leeds United
Leeds United's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches on the road yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. Despite their overall strong league position, their away performances have been inconsistent. The Whites have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, averaging just 1.17 goals per game in their last six away fixtures. However, their defence has been relatively solid, conceding only one goal per game on average and keeping two clean sheets. A standout match in this run was the high-scoring 4-3 victory against Swansea, which bucked the trend of low-scoring affairs, as 83% of their recent away games have seen under 2.5 goals. Leeds have shown resilience in their most recent away match, securing a 2-0 win against Stoke City, potentially signalling an upturn in their away form.
