Recent respective form guides
Derby County need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Rams have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Aston Villa's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Villans have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Derby County find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 33 games have yielded only 11 points. Aston Villa's 52 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 7th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Rams at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Villans come away with an easy victory. Away win
