Derby County 2-1 Blackburn Rovers

Current streaks

Recent form

Derby County

Derby County are currently experiencing a significant downturn in form, finding themselves rooted to the bottom of the Championship table in 24th position. The Rams have not tasted victory in their last 13 matches, enduring a particularly torrid run of three consecutive defeats in their most recent outings. Their goal-scoring woes are evident, having netted just once in their last six games, averaging a mere 0.17 goals per match. Defensively, they have been somewhat more resilient, conceding 1.33 goals per game on average, but a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Queens Park Rangers stands out as a particularly heavy defeat. Derby's struggles are further highlighted by their inability to score in five of their last six matches, with 83% of these games seeing under 2.5 goals. The team's current predicament is underscored by their meagre tally of 29 points from 35 games, leaving them in dire need of a dramatic turnaround to avoid relegation.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have experienced a mixed run of form in their recent fixtures, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches. The team's inconsistency is evident as they've struggled to maintain a winning streak, alternating between positive and negative results. Notably, Rovers have kept two clean sheets in their last four league games, showcasing some defensive improvement. However, their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game over this period. The recent 3-0 defeat to Swansea stands out as a particularly poor result, while their 2-0 victories against Plymouth Argyle and West Brom demonstrate their potential when in form. Despite their fluctuating performances, Blackburn have managed to secure a respectable 8th position in the Championship table, suggesting they are still in contention for a play-off spot.

Recent home/away form

Derby County

Derby County's recent home form has been alarmingly poor, with the Rams currently enduring a dismal five-match losing streak at Pride Park. The team have failed to score in their last six home fixtures, a worrying trend that has seen them slip to the bottom of the Championship table. Defensively, Derby have been somewhat more resilient, conceding only six goals across these six matches, with all games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their sole positive result in this period was a goalless draw against Oxford United, which also marked their only clean sheet. The lack of goalscoring prowess is particularly concerning, with Derby failing to find the back of the net in any of these home encounters, resulting in a goals-per-game average of zero. This scoring drought has undoubtedly contributed to their precarious league position, sitting 24th with just 29 points from 35 games.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have been struggling with their away form recently, having lost three consecutive Championship matches on the road before a brief respite with a win against West Brom. Their overall record in the last six away games shows a concerning trend, with four losses and only two wins. Defensively, they've been vulnerable, conceding eight goals in these six matches, including a 3-0 drubbing at Swansea. However, they've managed two clean sheets during this period, both resulting in victories. Their goal-scoring has been lacklustre, averaging less than a goal per game, which has contributed to their poor away results. Interestingly, half of their recent away matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that when Blackburn do score, the games tend to be more open affairs.
