Derby County desperately need points on Friday, Jan 1 at 4:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Derby County come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Blackburn Rovers, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
In 10 previous meetings, Derby County lead 4–6 with 0 draws. Their last encounter ended in Derby County won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Derby County a slight edge, but Blackburn Rovers are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
