Derby County
The Rams are among the leaders of the current League One season. Currently, Derby County has accumulated 89 points from 45 matches, holding a three-point lead over the third-placed team. Consequently, it can be inferred that Derby will aim to secure at least one point in this round to guarantee themselves direct promotion to the Championship. Additionally, it's worth noting that they are out of contention for the top spot, with a five-point gap separating them. However, they can still secure the second position in the season standings.

Such performances could aid them in securing their place in the higher division.
Carlisle United

Unfortunately, their results have been poor, as Carlisle United currently occupies the last position in the league table. From 45 matches, they have only amassed 30 points, with a staggering 16-point gap from safety and a ten-point gap from the 23rd position. Understandably, the team lacks motivation for this match.
