Derby County play host to Doncaster Rovers at Pride Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Rams.
The last time the two teams met at Derby County was amazingly over twenty years ago, in May 1986, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Third Division match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Derby County at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Rams will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
