Aston Villa welcome the visitors Derby County in the English Championship – Round 35. The match will be held on Saturday, March, 2nd, at the Villa Park (Birmingham).
The hosting Aston Villa are winless in five latest encounters wherein they attained only two points. The team struggle a lot in their defense. The weaknesses are the leaky defense against flank attacks, many individual mistakes, and inability to prevent opportunities. Thus, Villa allowed over fifty goals in thirty-three rounds. That said, they are very strong in their attack – take, for example, the team’s recent home clash with Sheffield United; losing with a scoreline of 3:0, Villa managed to end in a draw, shipping three goals to the opponent. Grealish is reported to be ready to help the team on Saturday.

The visiting Derby County fail to win in three rounds in a row, anyways, they sit seventh in the standings and may climb to the sixth place which is the play-off zone. The present breakaway is two points. The guests on the day certainly undergo some minor recession – in the last two fixtures, they did not only lose, but they were unable to find the net; however, the ‘Rams’’ chances to score tomorrow are very high, as their hosts are very weak in defense. Notably, in outings, Derby normally net 1.1 goal per game. Air play is their concern though.
The ‘Lions’ will certainly look to win. By the way, they shipped twenty goals from set-pieces; the problem is that they lose around two goals per home round, still, they score same. Of seventeen clashes on their turf, Villa registered eight draws, so another stalemate is possible. Nonetheless, Derby will succeed to net either, they boast the second best tally by goals made from counterattacks, and they netted ten goals from set-pieces. Mind that the hosts allowed two goals at least in eight of nine previous matches.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
