Swansea CityNo absentees
Derby County vs Swansea City is a Championship clash at Pride Park on Saturday at 12.30pm, with the hosts fancied to build on an entertaining draw last time out.
Derby shared six goals with Cardiff last weekend while Swansea ground out a goalless draw, and the Rams are marginal favourites. Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.
Premium Tips
Andy leans towards Derby, whose home advantage should tell against a low-scoring Swansea.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Derby County to win and both teams to score | 18/5 | Derby have shown attacking intent in their draws so far, including a 2-2 shootout with Cardiff, and Pride Park should be buzzing as the Rams chase their first home win of the campaign against a Swansea side they finished well above last season. Derby’s issue has been defensive rather than a lack of firepower, which points to goals at both ends. Swansea, while well-organised and hard to beat, have shown they can nick goals on the road rather than settling purely for a shutout. With Derby’s home threat likely to be too much for a Swansea side built more for containment, a home win alongside goals at both ends looks a sound combination. |
| Carlton Morris to score anytime and Moussa Yeo to be booked | 12/1 | Morris was Derby’s outstanding forward last season, finishing as the club’s top scorer and already opening his account again this term, making him the obvious source of Rams goals in a match they’re expected to control at home. Yeo, meanwhile, plays as an energetic wide attacking midfielder for Swansea who gets heavily involved defensively as well as going forward, putting him in regular positions to pick up a card in a combative, high-tempo Championship away fixture where Swansea will need to work hard without the ball. Together, these two threads tap into each player’s expected role on Saturday. |

How Derby County go into the game
Derby played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Cardiff last weekend, showing plenty going forward if some defensive frailty. Pride Park should be a lively venue as they chase a first home win.
The Rams are well-organised under their manager and dangerous on their day. Turning draws into three points at home is the priority as they look to climb the table.
How Swansea City go into the game
Swansea were held to a 0-0 draw by Sheffield United last time out, a typically cautious display. Goals have been hard to come by so far, and their away form will define their season.
Well-coached and hard to beat, Swansea will look to frustrate Derby and nick something late. A more clinical edge is needed if they are to turn draws into wins.
