Recent respective form guides
Derby County's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rams have scored 7, a worringly large 20 have been leaked at the other end.
Southampton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Saints have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Derby County find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 1 points from their 2 matches. Southampton are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 0 points from their 2 games thus far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Derby County at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Rams will at least gain a draw. Score draw
