Derby vs Southampton Prediction and Expert Tips

Derby vs Southampton Match Preview

Derby navigated the first eight rounds with only a single victory. Four draws and three losses in the remaining resulted in the team standing at position 20, which is on the edge of the danger line. But what is certain is the last two games of Derby, which all scored goals from their attack and ended in a draw. This is not so good yet as compared to their terrible scoreless beginning, its much better.

They will receive a good workout this Saturday when they host a Southampton team who look to be a bit more superior, losing two, drawing four and winning two of their opening eight league games. The only standout figure that we can find from Southampton’s initial seven is scoring at least one goal in all of their eight games except for one that was versus Portsmouth.

But the head-to-head provides more spice for the Southampton team as they had seven unbeaten matches in the past eight against Derby. Southampton’s six unbeaten last seven matches at Derby’s ground provides extra morale for sure. Therefore, we anticipate yet another stern test for the host Derby on Saturday at Pride Park.

Derby vs Southampton Prediction

A scoring fest is also to be anticipated in this match as Derby scored in three out of the four league home matches. They conceded 8 goals in the process which is worth mentioning. Away from home, Southampton comes on the back of a 1-2 victory over Sheff United that ended a two-game winless run away from home this season.

But the Southampton advantage in the head-to-head even at Derby home is close. That is more than adequate enough to give cover for Southampton here to win. An away win is the best we can recommend for this encounter. But it will surely come with a goal or two from Derby because they did score 5 goals in their four league games at home.
