Recent respective form guides
Derby County will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Rams have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Southend Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Shrimpers have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Derby County see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 12 points from their 9 games played so far, Southend Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 9 matches.
