Recent respective form guides
Derby County's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Rams have scored 7, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Cardiff City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Bluebirds's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Derby County are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 6 matches. Cardiff City's total of 10 points from their 6 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Rams at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Bluebirds come away with an easy victory. Away win
