Derby vs Blackpool Predictions

• The seven H2Hs across the last ten years averaged 3.71 total goals per game while five saw both teams score.
• Both teams have scored in seven of Derby County’s last nine matches.
• Both teams have found the back of the net in five of Blackpool’s last seven away league matches.

Mountain to climb for The Rams

The belief that Derby can overcome their points deduction to achieve survival is deteriorating more as each matchday passes and relegation is becoming ever more likely. The Rams have emerged victorious in just one of their last 11 league outings and it looks like the 20 point deficit may just be too much to overcome. Rooney’s men have actually got a relatively good record at home this season, but both of their losses at Pride Park so far this season have come in their last three games.

The visitors sit in midtable but recently they have struggled to find the back of the net. They’ve failed to score in their last three games but you have to feel that that run will end here, given only one team has stopped Blackpool from scoring away from home this season. In fact, 65% of their goals scored this season have come on the road and a struggling Derby could be the perfect side to face to end their goal drought.

Goals at both ends

This fixture usually sees goals and given the predicament of the home side, we’re expecting that run to continue here with goals aplenty. We’re also siding with the away team to get back to winning ways.
