After registering mixed results in preseason, Derby County opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Huddersfield Town. They will break from Championship assignments in midweek to take on League Two side Salford City in the first round of the League Cup. Derby wrapped up preseason strongly, with two wins, and thus head to this game on three unbeaten outings, with two clean sheets. They have scored in each of the last five matches, though only once have they managed two goals. At home, they are unbeaten in the last two matches and playing two tiers above Salford will have Derby as favorites though they will recall having lost to Salford in preseason.

Salford are winless in their last two matches and have just one clean sheet in their last five games. Among the two wins they’ve registered in their last five matches, is a 2-1 victory over Derby County in preseason. They’ve failed to score in two of their last five matches and have conceded two or more goals in two of the five matches while keeping just one clean sheet in five games. A 1-1 draw at home to Leyton Orient in League Two marked Salford’s start to the new season, and they rallied from a goal down to earn a point. They have scored more than a goal in just one of their last five matches and the last three have all ended in under 2.5 goals.
