Derby County vs Burnley Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Championship 2024-25

43 points separate the two sides on the points table.

Derby County will host Burnley at Pride Park Stadium on matchday 41 of the 24/25 EFL Championship season. The home side are having a very underwhelming campaign so far, as they find themselves in the 21st spot on the table. The Rams have racked up 11 wins and eight draws but have been on the losing end 21 times. They were on a four-match win streak but suffered a narrow 1-0 loss against Swansea on the last matchday.

Burnley, on the other hand, find themselves at the summit of England’s second division. They are just six games away from clinching yet another EFL Championship title. With 23 wins, 15 draws, and just two losses, the Clarets have accumulated 84 points from their opening 40 matches. They have not tasted defeat in the league for more than five months now and are just looking unstoppable.

Players to watch out for:

Marcus Harness (Derby County)

The English attacker has been a reliable piece of Derby County’s front line throughout the campaign. He is very versatile and provides many variations to the Rams’ front line. He can operate as a winger, an attacking midfielder, or even a support striker. He displayed his immense quality despite losing against Swansea in the last league game.

Four goal involvements in four games. 😮‍💨Marcus Harness has been nominated for the @PFA's March Championship Player of the Month award! 🔥

Josh Brownhill (Burnley)

The Englishman is the fourth-highest goalscorer in the EFL Championship 2024/25. He is outperforming his xG (Expected Goals) by almost six, which perfectly reflects his effectiveness in the final third. Manager Scott Parker will be hoping that the 29-year-old will replicate the same form throughout the season.
