Derby County Leeds United betting prediction

After 13 wins, 12 draws and 12 losses, the home team is in the 12^th position, havinf won 51 points so far. In the last match, they have won at home against Blackburn Rovers by (3‑0), after in the previous match they have won (1‑3) an away match against Sheffield Wednesday. This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 37 points, against only 14 points in away matches. In the last 10 home league matches Derby County has a record of 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 19 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (7 out of 19 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches for this competition. 13 of their last 19 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 16 of their 37 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Derby come to this round unmotivated after a 2-1 defeat at Cardiff. The home team choose to play in a traditional 4-3-3, where the three most advanced players are usually Martin, Knight and Lawrence. Even playing away from home, it is expected that Derby will adopt a more defensive posture, with the aim of trying not to suffer the first goal of the match. In the central area of the field, it is possible to line up Rooney, Sibley and Bird. Coach Phillip Cocu is expected to have three absences for this round, due to injury: Jack Marriott, Krystian Bielik and Andre Wisdom. It should be noted that striker Martyn Waghorn will also not be present for being suspended.

Confirmed Lineup: Kelle Roos, Matthew Clarke, Jayden Bogle, Curtis Davies, Craig Forsyth, Tom Lawrence, Louie Sibley, Max Bird, Martyn Waghorn, Chris Martin.
