EVENT ENDED!

Q.P.R’s form in recent weeks has seen them climb up to 15th place in the table, which positions them just three points below 10th-placed Derby. The hosts have fallen off terribly, with Steve McClaren paying the price with his job.

Match Preview

Derby have won just one of their last six Championship games, with the Rams struggling to find the back of the net and firing blanks during three of them. From challenging for promotion, the hosts now have just +3 goal difference and are firmly mid-table.

    - Derby 2-1 Barnsley
    - Derby 1-1 Preston
    - Brighton 3-0 Derby
    - Forest 2-2 Derby

Q.P.R have won four of their last six league matches, but every single one has come at Loftus Road. On their travels, they have suffered a 2-1 loss to Preston and pulled off an impressive stalemate against in-form Leeds.

This game tells the story of two changes of form, with the involved opponents’ having entirely different fortunes after contrasting starts to the campaign. While Q.P.R have improved to propel themselves away from the relegation battle, Derby have fallen way out of the play-off reckoning.

    - Q.P.R 2-1 Cardiff
    - Q.P.R 2-1 Barnsley
    - Leeds 0-0 Q.P.R
    - Q.P.R 5-1 Rotherham

Derby County vs Q.P.R Prediction and Betting Advice

Q.P.R will be high on confidence after thrashing the division’s whipping boys, Rotherham while scoring five goals in the process.The obvious weakness in their recent form has been their away results, but the visitors should have enough quality about them to frustrate Derby’s attempts at resurgence.

The Rams have only lost four league games at home this season, while Q.P.R have only won six away fixtures of their own. Derby need a victory, and fast, with this Friday looking to be the best opportunity for them to start putting some winning form together at last.
