Derby County slipped into the Championship relegation zone after a home loss on Wednesday. The Rams are 22nd in the table and Sunday sees them at home to 15th placed Birmingham City. The stats for recent games have led us to a prediction of more than 2.5 goals.

County have only four points from their six league games this season. Wednesday's 1-0 home loss to new leaders West Brom was their second straight league defeat. The Rams have only had one league win this term, a 2-0 away win at Portsmouth.

Home form has produced just one point. In their three home league games, there's been more than 2.5 goals in two of them.

Birmingham City have drawn four of their six league games this season. The other two have seen them win 2-1 at Wrexham, but lose by the same scoreline at Norwich on Wednesday evening. The Blues have scored eight league games, but conceded the same number.

Of their six league fixtures this season, four of them have seen more than 2.5 goals scored. This is a fixture that often sees a few goals scored. Seven of the last ten matches between Derby County and Birmingham City have seen more than 2.5 goals scored in them.
