Derby County and Blackburn Rovers, two sides struggling in the Championship come face to face this weekend. Starting the weekend bottom of the table, Derby will play host to eighth placed Blackburn on matchday 36. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Derby County find themselves at risk of a straight return to the third tier, having been among the best performers in League One last season. With 11 matches to play, they start this round on 29 points, seven adrift of the safe zone.
The last three matches have done little to save their situation. The Rams are coming from a 1-0 loss at Middlesbrough, a third straight defeat and 20th in the league.
While Derby’s survival chances have suffered in recent times, Blackburn’s hopes for promotion have also taken a dip. The Rovers have picked up just a point from a possible six in their last two matches.
Valerien Ismael’s men are coming from a 1-1 draw with Norwich City. Though a negative result at home, it was much better than the earlier 3-0 defeat at Swansea.
However, it saw Blackburn drop out of the top six, which could sound the danger bells as it is a congested race for the play-off positions.
On a more positive note, Blackburn have beaten Derby in each of their last five meetings.
