Derby County look to revive their playoff ambitions after a frustrating 4-2 defeat to Hull City, though the positive news is the absence of any fresh injuries. As Blackburn continue to struggle on the travels, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Rams remain inconsistent, but their overall numbers show promise: they score 1.60 goals per match and create 1.32 xG, while BTTS has landed in 60% of their league games. Home form, however, is a concern, with Derby averaging just 0.80 points per game at Pride Park and keeping only 20% clean sheets.
Blackburn Rovers travel in survival mode as their long injury list continues to limit squad rotation. Despite a spirited 2-1 loss to Bristol City, their attacking output remains low, scoring just 0.80 goals per game across all venues. Their away form is particularly shaky, yielding only 0.80 points per game, while defensive issues show in 1.67 xGA on the road.
Historically, Blackburn have the upper hand, winning 13 of the last 24 meetings, with Over 1.5 goals landing in 79% of those clashes. Both teams’ current defensive vulnerabilities suggest another open contest. As Derby matches average 3.10 goals and H2H supports goals, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Home Win and Derby Over 1.5 goals as the Rams boast better scoring output.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 28 February 2026 at 12:30.
