Derby County will look to get back in the win column when it continues its 2021-22 Championship campaign at home to Hull City on Tuesday night with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
Derby County is currently 23rd with 15 points from 29 matches, while Hull City sits 19th with 12 points from 28 games.
With a 21-point deduction, Derby is currently 16th on the table. They have won eight, drawn 12, and lost nine of their 29 league games this season. I
n addition, the Rams are currently 23rd in the table with 15 points. They have seven points from the safety of the 21st spot, which means that they still have an uphill battle to secure what would be a sensational survival.
Derby County hasn’t been in the best form lately, drawing with Birmingham City and losing to Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield Town in their last three league matches. The Rams were most recently in action on February 2, when they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Huddersfield.
Meanwhile, Hull will enter the FA Cup off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Preston on Saturday, which ended the Tigers’ impressive run of form in England’s second tier.
Indeed, Hull had won three straight matches between January 19 and January 29 against Blackburn Rovers, Bournemouth and Swansea City before losing to Preston.
