Derby vs Blackburn Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Derby<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The decision to poach manager John Eustace from Saturday\u2019s opponents Blackburn last month hasn\u2019t exactly gone to plan for Derby who have lost three Championship fixtures out of three since the appointment of their new taskmaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

County lost 1-0 at Middlesbrough in their last assignment and still haven\u2019t scored a single goal on Eustace\u2019s watch following successive blanks against QPR (0-4) and Millwall (0-1) before their loss-to-nil at Boro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rams, who now sit bottom of the 24-team Championship table, haven\u2019t won a league fixture since Boxing Day, yet they remain slight favourites to win ahead of Saturday\u2019s clash with Rovers on betting apps for football<\/a>, despite their dismal form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team news:<\/strong> Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Matthew Clarke, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Kane Wilson, David Ozoh, Dajuane Brown and Curtis Nelson are listed as possible injury absentees for Derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Lineup: <\/strong>Widell Zetterstrom, Nyambe, Langas, Forsyth, Elder, Adams, Armstrong, Jackson, Harness, Barkhuizen, Yates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blackburn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blackburn scored a 96th<\/sup>-minute equalizer to earn a share of the spoils at home to Norwich (1-1) in their last outing and kept themselves firmly in the mix in the Championship\u2019s playoff race in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That dramatic rescue act provided new manager Valerien Ismael with an exciting start to his Rovers tenure and the French coach will be targeting a first win at his predecessor\u2019s expense on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Championship betting sites<\/a> have Blackburn down as underdogs for this one, however, Rovers have claimed seven points from the last 12 on offer in the Championship and motivated to get one over on Eustance, their players should be fired up at Pride Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team news:<\/strong> Blackburn could be without the services of Harry Leonard, Scott Wharton, Danny Batth, Owen Beck and Harry Pickering this weekend while Emmanuel Dennis is suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Lineup:<\/strong> Pears, Brittain, Carter, Hyam, Ribeiro, Forshaw, Travis, Dolan, Cantwell, Kargbo, Gueye <\/p>\n\n\n\n
