Derby vs Middlesbrough Predictions

• Derby have won three of their last four games to nil
• All of Derby’s wins this season have come to nil
• Middlesbrough have failed to score in four of their last six

Goal-shy Boro to suffer again

Middlesbrough are winless in four league games (D1 L3), their longest run without a win since Neil Warnock took charge last June. They should be worried about that run ahead of a difficult visit to Derby.

While the hosts are third-bottom, Wayne Rooney has began to turn around their fortunes of late. The Rams have won three of their last four games to nil, including their last two at home.

All of Derby’s victories this season have come with a clean sheet. They have conceded only twice in their last six at home, while Middlesbrough have failed to score in four of their last six Championship games.

With Derby’s habit of pairing wins with clean sheets, we think the value here lies with a home win to nil. On top of that, we’re backing a repeat of the Rams’ most frequent scoreline, a 1-0 win.
