Derby County have featured three tough rounds lately, being challenged by top-five opponents. The team’s results were quite good though – they drawed against Middlesbrough, 1:1, won Norwich away, 3:4, and lost to Sheffield United, 3:1. In the Football Association Challenge Cup, the County also demonstrated their character, playing back against Southampton – losing 0:2, the team ended in 2:2, thus having to replay at the opponent’s arena. Ahead of the clash with the league’s leader, Derby County sit sixth, among top six teams looking to progress to the elite league.
Leeds United have failed three latest encounters, having lost twice in the league and dropped out from the FA Cup, so, their breakaway from the third line is presently four points. Both opponents perform well either on their soil or in outings, each have promising attacking lines. Going by the hosts’ recent mistakes in defense, we expect over 2.5 goals produced at the Elland Road tomorrow.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
