THE PREDICTION
Derby did not feature last weekend after their match away at Barnsley was postponed. Middlesbrough though fared even worse as they were thrashed 1-4 by high flying Brentford. Boro manager Neil Warnock is not likely to be happy at his side shipping four goals and they’ll be expected to have significantly tightened up defensively here. When also taking into account that Derby have kept three clean sheets in their last four Championship games, then under 2.5 goals scored should be seriously considered in this contest.
