Under 2.5 goals at Derby vs Cardiff 1/1 for Friday’s Championship matchup

Competition: Championship

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 1/1 @ Bet 365

Two sides struggling at the start of the new Championship campaign, Derby will host Cardiff on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, despite reaching the play-off final over the summer, it has been a very worrying start for Derby County. In their opening six Championship matches this season, they have recorded just a single win, three draws, and two defeats, scoring six and conceding nine in return. With a points tally of six, the Whites sit down in 19th and hold just a two-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, Derby have now lost back-to-back appearances and have failed to find the net in each of those defeats.

As for the visitors, also showing some real inconsistencies at the start of the new Championship campaign, Cardiff are some way off securing a Premier League return. In their opening six matches so far this season, the Blues have secured two wins, two draws, and two defeats, scoring seven and conceding nine in return. With a points tally of eight, Cardiff currently sit in the bottom half of the table. As for their recent run of results, Friday’s guests have failed to win any of their last three matches across all competitions and have scored just a single goal on that winless run.
