Fulham v Derby County Predictions

The international break couldn’t come soon enough for Fulham. The Cottagers are on a run of five games without success and will be hoping to reignite their campaign. Alarm bells were ringing when they came up short at home to relegation candidates Bolton Wanderers and failing to score in two subsequent matches does not bode well.

Derby had won four in a row prior to their 2-4 home defeat at the hands of Reading. The Rams’ traveling form is good, with no loss in four on the road and back-to-back 1-2 away wins at Norwich City and Leeds United. The visitors are the form side here and look set to cause Fulham problems.

In the last six meetings between these sides, Fulham have won once, there have been two draws and Derby have won three times. The previous matches have tended to be entertaining and produce a few goals, so a bet on Over 2.5 is advised. On the balance of form, Derby are tipped to come out on top.
