Derby County vs Norwich City Prediction and Betting Tips | October 21st 2025

Derby County will host Norwich City at the Pride Park Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be desperate to get a result and avoid falling into the bottom three after what has been a terrible start to the new season.

Derby County put up a toothless performance and were lucky to only concede one in their 1-0 loss to Oxford United on their return from the international break on Saturday. The Rams, who are winless in their last five games and have won only one of 10 league games played so far, are now a point and a place above the relegation zone but will hope to turn things around in the coming weeks to push higher up the league table.

Norwich City are having a similarly poor season as they are currently tied on points with their midweek hosts following their 1-0 loss to Bristol City last time out. The Canaries, who had a comfortable mid-table finish last campaign, have now lost three league games on the bounce and could end this matchday in the drop zone should they fail to get a result on Tuesday.

Derby County vs Norwich City Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The sides have met on 72 previous occasions going into Tuesday's game. Derby have won 22 of those meetings, 20 have ended in draws while Norwich have the remaining 30.
• The sides are evenly matched across their five most recent meetings with both sides registering two wins, one draw and eight goals.
• Both teams have scored 11 goals in 10 league games played so far this season.
• Derby have conceded 16 goals in the league so far. Only Sheffield Wednesday (22) and Hull City (18) have conceded more in the English second tier this season.

Derby County vs Norwich City Prediction

The sides are very closely matched going into the weekend and will likely leave the result to be determined by individual brilliance. The Rams will, however, need to improve on their recent performances to get their first home win of the campaign.

The Canaries, meanwhile, will rely on their decent record away from home this season to perhaps pick up a point this week.

Prediction: Derby County 1-1 Norwich City
