🧠 Match Preview

Derby · Home

Derby are without a win in their last five, drawing two and losing three while conceding 11 goals and keeping no clean sheets. Their most recent home outing ended in a 0-1 defeat to Stoke City, and they failed to score in only one of those five matches.

Norwich · Away

Norwich have won two of their last five, including a 3-2 home win over Watford and a 3-1 away win at Charlton. Their three defeats in that run were all by a single goal, and they failed to score in two of the five.

Norwich edge recent H2H

The latest head-to-head, on 21 Apr 2026, finished 2-1 to Norwich at home, while the earlier meeting in this sequence saw Derby win 1-0. Norwich's recent away form includes that 3-1 win at Charlton, and their model expected goals of 1.27 sit above Derby's 1.15. Derby's five-match run of 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, with 4 goals for and 11 against, makes a narrow away result realistic rather than a comfortable one. The evidence supports Norwich win.

Published 02 Nov 2026 04:47 UTC+3. Analysis and numbers reflect the pre-match data snapshot available at publication.
