West Brom vs Derby County

Current streaks

Recent form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion are currently experiencing a poor run of form, having won only one of their last six matches. The Baggies have lost four of their last five games, including a concerning streak of three consecutive defeats against Norwich, Sunderland, and Bristol City. Their defensive frailties are evident, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven matches. West Brom's attacking output has also been lacklustre, scoring just four goals in their last six games, with an average of 0.67 goals per match. Despite the low-scoring nature of their recent fixtures, with 67% of games featuring under 2.5 goals, West Brom have struggled to capitalise on these tight encounters, drawing only once in this period. The team's goal difference of -4 over the last six matches further underlines their current difficulties in both attack and defence.

Derby County

Derby County's recent form has been mixed, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Rams have struggled to find consistency, alternating between positive and negative results. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, netting 1.17 goals per game, while their defence has been relatively solid, conceding just one goal per match on average. Derby have managed two clean sheets in this period, highlighting their defensive capabilities. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. The standout result in this run was their 3-2 away victory against Plymouth Argyle, which bucked the trend as their highest-scoring match. However, Derby's inability to string together consecutive wins and their current two-match winless streak indicate they may be facing some challenges in maintaining momentum in the Championship.

Recent home/away form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion's recent home form in the Championship has been somewhat inconsistent, with the Baggies securing three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches at The Hawthorns. The team have shown a tendency towards low-scoring affairs, with five out of six games featuring under 2.5 goals, and only 33% of matches seeing both teams score. Defensively, West Brom have been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of 0.83 goals per game. However, their attacking output has been modest, averaging just one goal per match. The Baggies' most recent home victory against Watford broke a brief two-game winless streak at The Hawthorns, suggesting they may be regaining some momentum on their own turf.

Derby County

Derby County's recent away form has been patchy, with the Rams struggling to find consistency on their travels. In their last six away matches, they have managed just one win, alongside two draws and three losses. Defensively, Derby have been vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these fixtures. The 4-0 drubbing at Queens Park Rangers stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, contributing significantly to their negative goal difference of -5 over this period. Despite these defensive frailties, Derby have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in four of the six matches and averaging one goal per game. The 3-2 victory at Plymouth Argyle highlights their ability to outscore opponents on occasion, though their overall goal tally of six in six matches suggests room for improvement in attack. With both teams scoring in half of these games and an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, Derby's away fixtures have provided a mix of entertainment and frustration for their supporters.
