Norwich arrive at Derby's ground on the back of a two-game winning run, scoring six and conceding three in those two matches. The 3–2 home win over Watford on 31 October and the 3–1 away victory at Charlton on 24 October show a side finding its rhythm, and the away record over 20 games tells a strong story: 10 wins, 1 draw, 9 losses, 1.55 points per game and 1.65 goals scored per game.
Derby, by contrast, have won none of their last five matches. The 0–1 home defeat to Stoke City on 17 October and the 1–4 away losses to QPR and Millwall on 14 and 31 October respectively paint a picture of a side struggling to find a winning formula. Over their last 10 games, Derby have managed just 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, scoring 8 and conceding 18. At home over 20 games, their record is 7 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses, with 1.15 goals scored per game.
The head-to-head at this venue is limited in recent times. The only meeting within the last 12 months was at Norwich's ground in April 2026, which Norwich won 2–1. The older meetings at Derby's ground — a 1–0 Derby win in October 2025, a 2–3 Norwich win in September 2024, and a 0–1 Norwich win in April 2021 — are historical record and do not reflect current form. The full head-to-head spans 14 meetings over 11 years, with Derby winning 5, Norwich 4 and 5 draws.
The matchup comparison makes the case for Norwich clear. Their away record of 1.55 points per game and 1.65 goals scored per game outpaces Derby's home figures of 1.2 points and 1.15 goals. Norwich's last 10 games show 4 wins and 1.8 goals scored per game, while Derby's last 10 show 1 win and 0.8 goals scored per game.
The counter-argument is that Derby's home record, while poor, still includes 7 wins in 20 games, and the older head-to-head meetings at this ground have produced low-scoring results. Norwich's away record also includes 9 losses in 20 games, and they have failed to score in 7 of those 20 away matches. Derby's recent matches have seen both teams score in 4 of 5, suggesting an open game is possible.
Key Points:
- Norwich are on a two-game winning run (6 scored, 3 conceded) and hold a 10W 1D 9L away record over 20 games
- Derby have won none of their last five matches and just 1 of their last 10
- The only recent head-to-head meeting (April 2026) was a 2–1 Norwich win at their ground
- The matchup table shows Norwich's away record superior to Derby's home record on points and goals scored
- Older head-to-head meetings at Derby's ground have been low-scoring (1–0, 2–3, 0–1)
No Bet.
