Recent respective form guides
Crystal Palace have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 in the wrong end.
Derby County's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Rams have hit 9 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Crystal Palace see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 53 points from their 43 games played so far, Derby County find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 51 points from their 42 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Crystal Palace at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Eagles will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Crystal Palace | Failed to win in previous 3 home matches. Latest 2 games ended in defeat. Not won in the 6 most recent games. |
| Derby County | 4 games since last away draw. Last drawn game 4 outings ago. |
