Derby County hosts Blackburn Rovers in round 37 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Sunday, March 8th at Pride Park (Derby)
Derby County got stuck in the middle of the standings, and the team takes 13th place there. If it claims the playoffs, then for the most part only theoretically – eight points must be won back in the eight remaining rounds of the championship. Such a rebound is unlikely because there are a lot of competitors, and they will also gain points.

Blackburn really claims to be in playoff matches. So far, it is 8th in the standings and lags only six points behind the sixth place. And if not for the draw syndrome that hit the team in three last rounds in a row, the Rovers would be in the top six.
Derby plays neatly at home and scores points regularly but does not show goal extravaganza. Only five out of 18 home games ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. Surely, the hosts will play for the result in the upcoming match. And Blackburn is likely to do so. It needs points to get into the playoffs. In the first place, the Rovers will take care of the safety of their box so that to gain at least one point on Derby’s pitch. Therefore, one should not expect a lot of goal attempts and goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
