Derby County desperately need points on Saturday, Feb 6 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 in mixed form (0W 1D 1L). Southampton, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Derby County face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Southampton have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Derby County won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Derby County a slight edge, but Southampton are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
