Derby County and Southampton meet for the first time since 2019, and these two old rivals are promising a blockbuster in Round 9 of the Championship. Only three points separate them on the table, and only one point is keeping The Rams out of the relegation zone. See why we expect end-to-end action in our Derby County vs Southampton match prediction below.
First off, this bet has won in four of their last five meetings, which is already a strong indicator of the mentality they’ll enter this game with. But that’s just one piece of the puzzle. The other part has to do with a consistent trend in their recent games. For The Saints, both teams have scored in their last five games in all competitions and in seven of their eight league games this season.
Even when travelling, both teams have scored in Southampton’s last five away games. This has also been the case for Derby. Both teams have scored in eight of the ten games Derby has played this season. Then at Derby’s home, which is where this game against Southampton takes place, this bet has won in three of their four games this season.
Derby won this bet again in their most recent showing, which was a 1-1 draw against Charlton at home. Southampton also won this bet last time out, and it was also an away game where they won 2-1.
