The Rams are having an excellent season and are aiming for direct promotion to the Championship. Currently, Derby County occupies the second place in the league table with 86 points from 44 matches. They trail league leaders Portsmouth by eight points, but more importantly, Bolton is just three points behind, and Peterborough could still catch up despite being six points adrift.
In the last match, Paul Warne's team hosted Leyton Orient and secured a 3-0 victory. This win extended Derby's unbeaten streak to four matches. However, when it comes to away matches, Derby County has drawn their last two games and hasn't won in three consecutive matches.
