Derby County

The "Rams" are having an excellent season and are in contention for direct promotion to the Championship. Currently, Derby County occupies the second position in the league table, with 75 points after 38 rounds. This is five points behind the leaders, Portsmouth. In their last match, Paul Warne's team hosted Reading and managed to defeat them with a score of 2-1, securing the decisive goal from the penalty spot. This victory marked the third consecutive win for the "Rams" in the championship. Regarding their home statistics, Derby County has won their last two away matches and three out of the last four matches overall.

Bolton

The "Wanderers" are also fighting for promotion, and if not for some setbacks in recent matches, they would be leading the league table at the moment. In the last round, Bolton secured a dominant 5-0 victory over Oxford United at home. However, prior to that, Ian Evatt's team had two consecutive draws against Barnsley and Exeter. As a result, Bolton currently sits in the third position, trailing Derby by just one point. They have remained unbeaten in their last four matches, securing two victories during this period. However, their away record is quite different, with no wins in their last four away matches.
