Derby County
- Derby County are unbeaten in two home games but have failed to win either (1-1 x2).
- Wrexham are just doing enough to stay above Derby County in the Championship table after 24 games with 34 points, while the Rams have 32 and sit 14th.
Wrexham
- The Red Dragons have won only two of their 11 Championship away games to date (D5, L4).
- Wrexham have conceded 12 goals in their 11 Championship away fixtures and will not get much joy from Derby County at home, but they will test the Rams’ defence with long balls, set-pieces and second balls.
Head-to-Head
The last Championship clash between these sides finished 1-1 at Wrexham, which was just three months ago.
Key Players
- Carlton Morris is the most dangerous player on the pitch for the hosts with ten goals in 16 appearances in the Championship this term, but Patrick Agyemang has been equally effective of late with three of Derby’s last five goals coming from his boot.
- The Welsh club have a big targetman in Kieffer Moore, who has ten goals in 23 Championship appearances and is very useful in the air and with the ball in his feet.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have Derby as slight favorites for this game at 2.22 while Wrexham are the long shots at 3.29.
- The ‘Both Teams to Score’ market is available at 1.84 and that seems like an excellent bet.
- There could be a few goals in this one with Derby averaging 1.25 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game at Pride Park this season.
Prediction
- This contest could be close as John Eustace’s men will look to manage the game flow and tempo against the Red Dragons’ direct, physical approach.
- The feeling here is that this one could be just as tight.
