📏 Form Guide
Derby County
LWWWWL
Derby County will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 1-0 League One loss in their previous game against Northampton Town.
Sam Hoskins (23') scored for Northampton Town.
Their more recent scorelines really do illustrate the point that not much more can be done by the Derby County defence. Derby County have been miserly, seeing the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their last six matches standing at 4. Having said that, it remains to be seen whether the trend will be replicated in this next game.
Looking at their past form shows that Derby County:
- have not lost a league tie with Blackpool in their last 7 games.
- are unbeaten in their previous 3 league matches at home.
Blackpool
WLWDWL
