Derby County vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Predictions
A home game against midlands rivals Birmingham is Derby County’s big chance to move closer to safety after a season riddled with off-pitch troubles. They go to this game placed 23rd with 14 points while Birmingham are 18th with 32 points. Derby County have negotiated their way past a 21-point deduction and things are looking up for them. Wayne Rooney, the pillar of their season seems to be staying put, and the team is just eight points from safety. They have done well in the recent matches, losing just once in the last five. They have the goals, scoring in the last five Championship matches, and at home, Derby have four wins in five league matches. In each of their last three league matches at home, Derby have won with clean sheets.
Birmingham seem satisfied with a mid table finish; they are 12 points above the relegation zone and 12 below the top six. Promotion may not be in their immediate plans but they have to improve on their recent performances. Birmingham have won just once in their last nine matches and haven’t managed a clean sheet in the process. They have five losses in the last 10 games, and in six of the 10, they’ve conceded two or more goals. In their last game, they battled from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Peterborough, making it two unbeaten outings, in matches against two struggling sides. Still, they’ll hope to make it three after this game. They however have a poor run away from home in the Championship, where they have managed just one win in the last 12.

Our Derby County vs Birmingham Prediction
Derby have a great home form and this is what they will ride on as they seek survival. They have three straight wins with clean sheets at home ahead of this game and generally they’ve performed well lately. Birmingham aren’t doing so well, especially away from home, and this is going to be one of the tough games they have to play. Based on the two sides’ home/away forms, we will back Derby to win.
