Burnley will host Derby at Turf Moor on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have enjoyed a strong run of results in the league this season and sit third in the league table with 37 points from 19 matches as they continue their push for a return to the Premier League.

They played out a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough last time out, finding themselves a goal down in the opening 15 minutes before Conor Roberts scored a stunning leveler later in the half to register his first goal for the Clarets since last April.

Derby County, meanwhile, have struggled for form in recent games, although they remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They were beaten 2-0 by promotion favorites Leeds United in their last match, conceding twice in the first half and failing to muster a tangible response in the second.

The visitors sit 16th in the league table with 20 points from 19 matches. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and make a real statement of intent this week.


Burnley vs Derby County Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

  • There have been 103 meetings between Burnley and Derby. The home side have won 40 of those games while the visitors have won two more, with their other 21 contests ending in draws.
  • The two teams last faced off in a Championship clash back in January 2016 which the Clarets won 4-1 to register a 12th consecutive unbeaten outing in this fixture.
  • The Rams are without a clean sheet in their last 10 matches.
  • Burnley have the best defensive record in the English second tier this season with a goal concession tally of seven.

Burnley vs Derby County Prediction

Burnley are on a six-game unbeaten streak, picking up four wins in that period. They are one of four teams in the Championship this season yet to taste defeat on home turf and will head into this one as overwhelming favorites.

Derby have lost their last three games on the bounce after losing just one of their previous eight. They have, however, won just once on the road all season and could lose here.

Prediction: Burnley 2-0 Derby County
