TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Derby have had a mixed start to the season but they are very dangerous at home. Derby have been working hard defensively and it has paid of with two clean sheets in the last three games. With a settled side and two quality keepers to choose from Nigel Clough's men are a threat to any side at Pride Park. Jamie Ward, Will Hughes and Gareth Roberts are taking late fitness tests while keeper Frankie Fielding is rated highy doubtful.
Blackburn have had more trouble finding a manager than they 1st imagined. A host of candidates have turned them down. Eric Black remains as interim coach as all avenues are explored. David Goodwillie returns from his unsuccessfull loan spell at Palace and gives an extra option upfront. Blackburn have one of the best squads in the division but like neighbours Bolton their Premier league defence is struggling against the bustling, aggresive forwards of the Championship. Without a win in four matches Rovers will be looking for a fresh start after the international break.

DERBY - BLACKBURN: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

3.52 The Draw (Pinnacle)is a massive price for two sides who are not too far apart. With 8 draws in their 20 games so far the 3.52 is too big. Blackburn look a different side under Black, after the kamikaze style of Kean proved too much for owners Venkys. Derby are a difficult side at home and expect both sides to take the draw. I would have little confidence in either side to take the three points and when you see some firms just 3.20 the draw we have value here.

DERBY - BLACKBURN :ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Blackburn 0 at 2.34 (Pinnacle) A side with such quality as Blackburn look the likely victor here if the draw is discounted. Blackburn have almost two squads of players and against the inconsistent Derby side have the slight edge. The match prices would be nearer to each of two if Blackburn had not tailed off in the last few matches so taking Rovers with money back for the draw is the selection.

DERBY - BLACKBURN:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under 2.50 1.97 (Pinnacle) is the bet here. It is going against the current statistics but both sides have gone through a chance recently and both defences look very solid compared to the opening weeks. Derby have finally started to gel at the back while Blackburn look to have finally come to terms with the more direct tactics of the lower division. In the last 6 games we note that there have been 5 games under 2.5, with three of the games containing clean sheets.
