Derby vs Barnsley Predictions

• Derby have failed to keep a clean sheet at home this term
• Barnsley have conceded in every away game
• Five of the last six meetings between these two have seen both teams score

Disappointing milestone for Cocu’s Derby

Back in January, Wayne Rooney made his Derby debut as the Rams swept aside Barnsley. They were the league’s in form side in July, but things took a turn.

Now Derby have six points from 10 games. That’s their lowest in a league campaign since 2007-08 in the Premier League when they ultimately finished the season bottom with a record-low 11 points.

The Rams have lost four of their five home games so far, failing to keep a clean sheet. Meanwhile, Barnsley have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their away trips.

Five of the last six clashes between these two have seen both teams score and neither defence looks capable of stopping that run.

Derby are conceding 12 shots per game at home this term, while Barnsley are conceding from 18% of the shots they face on the road. We see both teams scoring here, while a 1-1 draw is our correct score prediction with neither performing that well.
