Derby vs. Birmingham – Score prediction (28.09.2019)

Overview.

Philip Cocu’s frustrating start as Derby manager continues, despite the brief elation of scoring a last-minute equaliser vs Leeds last time out. Moreover, the ‘Rams’ sole victory came away from home, meaning they are one of just three sides – along with the bottom two – yet to win on home turf. Just one of Derby’s four home league games so far has been goalless at the break, whilst two have seen at least two goals by half-time (1.25 first-half goals per match average). Moreover, Derby have failed to hold a lead after scoring the opening goal twice at home (D2 after scoring first).

Much less entertaining for the neutral are Birmingham City, with only Brentford (1.38) averaging fewer total league goals than Birmingham matches this term (2.0). However, the ‘Blues’ are amongst the worst-disciplined sides in the league, averaging 2.25 bookings per match in 2019/20. None of Birmingham’s away league matches this term have seen both sides score, which corresponds with the fact that Birmingham have conceded an equaliser on only one of four occasions in which they took a lead in any league game this term.
