Preston North End Derby County betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 12^th position of the league, with 19 points won, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Coventry City, by (1‑2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Plymouth Argyle, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 5 points in away matches and 14 points at their stadium, with 11 goals scored and 5 goals conceded at home, against 8 goals scored and 14 conceded in away matches. In the last 8 away league matches Derby has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 24 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 13 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 10 of their 24 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Derby enters this match after a 1-1 home draw against Plymouth. Unlike their opponents this round, the visiting team opts for a traditional 4-3-3 formation, with Nathaniel Méndez-Laing, Jerry Yates, and Kayden Jackson as the three forwards. Playing away from home, it is expected that Derby will adopt a more defensive approach to avoid being unbalanced. Manager Paul Warne is likely to be without Tawanda Chirewa, David Ozoh, and Ryan Nyambe, who are currently recovering from injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Jacob Widell Zetterström, Craig Forsyth, Eiram Cashin, Nathaniel Phillips, Curtis Nelson, Ben Osborn, Liam Thompson, Ebou Adams, Dajaune Brown, Jerry Yates, Kayden Jackson.
Coach: W. Rooney.
