Burnley vs Derby County Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Derby County have not played in the Premier League since 2008.

Matchday 20 of the EFL Championship will bring us to the Turf Moor stadium, where Burnley will host Derby County in a thrilling encounter. The hosts are only a point behind Leeds United on the points table. The Clarets have accumulated 37 points in the second division of English football so far.

They have 10 wins, seven draws, and two losses in their opening 19 matches. After being relegated from the Premier League last season, they are one of the favourites to clinch promotion.

Derby County on the other hand find itself in a difficult situation yet again. They are 16th in the points table and will likely have to wait another season to taste Premier League football. In their opening 19 matches, the Rams have five wins, five draws, and nine shattering losses in the EFL Championship.

Their defensive struggles are a major reason behind their lacklustre season. A win against Burnley can restore their confidence.

Form:

Burnley (in all competitions): D-W-W-W-W

Derby County (in all competitions): L-L-L-D-D

Players to watch out for:

Josh Brownhill (Burnley)

Josh Brownhill is one of his team’s best performers this season. He is leading the team from the front as the captain and their top scorer. He has contributed to eight goals directly with six goals and two assists.

He is very versatile and can play various positions in the midfield. A great performance will be expected from him against Derby County, as fans wish that he can continue his outstanding form.

Nathaniel Méndez-Laing (Derby County)

Derby County have struggled to find the back of the net throughout the season. However, Nathaniel has done a good job contributing to the scoring of his club. The 32-year-old can be a threat from either wing and can also lead the line as a striker.

Burnley will not allow many chances to Derby County so they need to be clinical and Nathaniel will be given the responsibility of that.
