it's not been the best of starts to the new season for Derby County. The Rams are yet to win in the Championship and are 16th in the table. This weekend, they host ninth placed Swansea City. Looking at the stats,our prediction for this match is BTTS.
County finished eighth in the table last season, just two places and four points behind the final play-off position (though it'd be good enough this term). Losing three of their last five league games ended their promotion hopes.
There has been some unrest at the club with a proposed takeover not taking place.
They began the 2026-27 league season with a 2-1 away loss at Charlton. That was followed by a 2-2 home draw with Cardiff City last weekend, trailing twice in that game. The Rams have also been beaten 2-1 at home by Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup.
Both teams have scored in each of their last six competitive fixtures.
Swansea City have earned four points from their first two league fixtures of the new season following an early Carabao Cup exit to Birmingham City. Their one win came at Stoke in their opening match. Last weekend produced a goalless home draw against Sheffield United.
Both teams have scored in four of their last five away Championship matches.

Derby County really need to get their first league win of the season. Just a single point has been earned from their two league games played so far, and like their opponents they failed to get past round one of the Carabao Cup.
Both teams have scored in each of their league games played this season. The Swans have made a brighter start in the Championship and will be tough opponents for County this weekend. Our Derby County v Swansea prediction is BTTS.
