Derby County face QPR at Pride Park, Derby on Tuesday, Feb 16 at 8:45 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Championship, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Derby County come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). QPR are drawing too many games (4D in last 5), making this a relatively even contest on current form.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Derby County and QPR have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–1D–5W). Their last encounter ended in QPR won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Derby County win or a draw looks most likely.
