Leeds United host Derby County on matchday 19 of the EFL Championship on Saturday. The two sides are in opposite halves of the points table.
Daniel Farke's Leeds are coming off a surprise 1-0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers last weekend. Todd Cantwell's 22nd-minute penalty proved to be the difference between the two teams.
The defeat - snapping a three-game winning run - saw Leeds surrender top spot to Sheffield United (38) and dropped them to third, with 35 points from 18 games, winning 10. Burnley (36) have also streaked ahead of the Whites.
Meanwhile, Paul Warne's Derby are also coming off a loss in their previous outing, losing 2-1 at home to Sheffield Wednesday. Ebou Adams gave the Rams a ninth-minute lead as the hosts led at the break.

However, a 64th-minute equaliser by Barry Bannan followed by a Jamal Lowe winner in the fourth minute of stoppage time condemned Warne's side to consecutive losses. They are 15th in the points table, with 20 points in 18 games, winning five.

Leeds United vs Derby County prediction
The two sides have had contrasting campaigns. While Leeds are flying high at the right end of the table, the Rams are winless in four games and are five points off the drop zone.
The Whites saw their winning run end last week but will draw confidence from their positive head-to-head record with Derby, having not lost in five league games (excluding play-offs), winning four.
Moreover, Farke's side have had three straight clean sheets at home and have lost once in their last seven league meetings with the Rams. Considering that, we expect Leeds to take a comfortable win.
