Derby County could not get anything worthwhile from their journey to Ewood Park last Friday night, when second-half strikes from Curtis Nelson and Kane Wilson were meagre consolations in a 4-2 loss to the Blackburn Rovers. They showed all the weaknesses of a newly promoted club, as the Rovers breached their defences.
County manager Paul Warne was under pressure on Tuesday night, when Chesterfield’s Armando Dobra scored in a first-round EFL Cup clash at Pride Park. But the hosts maintained composure and moved to the next stage thanks to strikes from Liam Thompson and Kayden Jackson.

Middlesbrough passed with flying colours when tested in the Championship and EFL cup against Swansea City and Leeds United, scoring four times and keeping clean sheets in both matches. Emmanuel Latte Lath held down the forte from 12 yards to open his account and secure maximum points on the opening Saturday of the second-tier campaign against the Swans.
With a £4.5m transfer for Bristol City marksman Tommy Conway coming closer to completion. Josh Coburn’s remarkable performance at Elland Road will significantly improve his chances of first-team minutes at Riverside this term. Although, he could leave the club before the end of the summer window.
MatchPlug Prediction For Derby VS Middlesbrough
Derby had a weak defence against Blackburn in their opening match last Friday, and this type of performance again will lead to the same outcome. Middlesbrough have been an outstanding outfit so far this campaign, and they should have enough firepower to win in the Midlands on Saturday.
Final Prediction: Middlesbrough Moneyline.
