Game Prediction
In the 20th round of the English Championship on December 10, 2024, Burnley will host Derby County. The promotion contenders will face a mid-table team with little motivation left for the season.
Our prediction for the Burnley vs Derby County match
The "Clarets" were relegated from the Premier League not long ago, but under the leadership of their new coach, Vincent Kompany, they confidently returned to the top flight. Despite taking points off Everton and Nottingham Forest, they ultimately lost the battle for survival. Vincent, who was trusted by the management despite the disappointing 2023/2024 season, left in the summer for Bayern Munich. Derby County managed to return to League One last season, finishing second, which was enough to secure promotion.
In the Championship, both teams are performing fairly well according to their respective goals. Burnley, under Scott Parker, wins most of their matches and is competing at the top. November saw them string together a series of victories, only stumbling in a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough. Paul Warne's men, on the other hand, have managed to stay away from the relegation zone, although their record shows more defeats than victories. Their most recent loss was a 0-2 defeat to Leeds, marking their third consecutive loss.
The hosts focus heavily on defense, scoring an average of 1.3 goals per match while conceding fewer than they score, which keeps them among the leaders. Derby County, meanwhile, scores about the same number of goals but concedes just as often.
