1st Prediction For Burnley vs Derby County: Burnley to win 13/20
Scott Parker’s Burnley team go into Tuesday’s game as the overwhelming favourites. The Clarets have been in great form recently, picking up 13 points from their last five games. These four wins have been against Bristol City, Swansea, Stoke and Coventry – the four teams directly above Derby in the table – proving that the recently relegated side now how to pick off mid-table opponents on a regular basis. Whilst Burnley are sitting at the top of the Championship form table, Derby are sitting near the bottom after a five-game winless run. Their most recent match was against Burnley’s fellow promotion-challengers, Leeds United, and the Rams hardly laid a glove on their opponents. Therefore, a Burnley win on Tuesday night seems very likely.
2nd Prediction For Burnley vs Derby County: Derby County to score under 0.5 goals 51/50
On the subject of Derby’s most recent game, the Rams only managed to register one shot on target against Leeds. This is a worrying omen for Tuesday as Burnley’s defence is even more outstanding than Leeds’. They have conceded just seven times in 19 Championship games so far and they have kept 11 clean sheets in that time. Former Manchester City academy Goalkeeper, James Trafford, has been in excellent form this season after a poor debut campaign in the Premier League which saw him get dropped towards the end of the season. The England youth international has a save percentage of 83.3%, the highest of any goalkeeper in the league. Derby County have struggled up front as their top scorer, Jerry Yates, has just four goals in 16 league appearances. The Rams are both struggling to provide their strikers with chances and the attackers are struggling to put them away. All of this makes it incredibly likely that Derby will fail to find the net on Tuesday evening.
3rd Prediction For Burnley vs Derby County: Burnley to lead at half-time 133/100
Although Burnley have left it late to win at times, they should be able to get the lead by half-time on Tuesday. Derby have been particularly weak in the first-half recently. They conceded both of their goals against Leeds in the first-half and both of their goals against Swansea City in the first 15 minutes. Although the Rams will have Ebou Adams back to sure up their midfield, Burnley’s Josh Brownhill has been dominating the centre of the pitch recently. The midfielder picked up an assist on Friday night against Middlesbrough and scored against Stoke in the game before that. Any defensive resistance that Derby might offer should be easily overcome by a high-qualit Burnley team before half-time.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Burnley come into the game riding the crest of a wave and Scott Parker will expect to see their recent good run of form continue, especially given Derby’s recent woes. Paul Warne will be very worried about Derby’s recent form. Good runs from Queens Park Rangers and Portsmouth have seen the bottom of the table become a lot more congested and the Rams now sit just three points away from the relegation zone. It is the first time they have been under any real threat of falling into the bottom three since the opening games of the season and Warne will be desperate for the January transfer window to open so that he can sign some reinforcements. History does not favour Derby in this encounter either. They have failed to beat Burnley in their last 10 attempts, losing eight times and drawing twice.
