Derby v Blackpool Match preview
The Rams are 20 points adrift of safety following their points deduction while the Tangerines are also not far off from relegation troubles.
The home side are almost certain to be relegated. Wayne Rooney’s side were docked 21 points but even if you take out the docked points out of the equation, the Rams would have still struggled. They have won just once in their last 11 games and have managed just 17 goals so far.
Following a loss to Queens Park Rangers, you cannot expect them to climb out of the woods this season.
Blackpool have lost two games in a row but overall, Neil Critchley has done an amazing job at the club since guiding the club to promotion from League One last season. They’re currently winless in six and have struggled in front of goal, scoring just twice.
