Our predictions for Derby County vs Millwall
Match Prediction: Derby County 1-2 Millwall
Derby County will be looking to bounce back from their recent home defeat against Leicester City. With a predicted 4-4-2 formation, they might aim to exploit the wings with Ward and Elder, while Agyemang and Salvesen lead the attack. Their recent form has been inconsistent, but a win away at Swansea City shows they can be competitive.
Millwall, on the other hand, come into this match with a strong run of form, having won three of their last five games. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 setup could allow them to control the midfield with Azeez and Kelly, while De Norre and Emakhu provide creativity behind Ivanovic. This tactical approach might give them the edge in a closely contested match.
Derby County's recent form has been up and down, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. Their most recent result was a 1-3 home defeat to Leicester City, which might dent their confidence going into this match. However, their ability to secure victories away from home against Swansea City and Blackburn Rovers suggests they can still pose a threat.

Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head record between Derby County and Millwall shows a slight edge for Millwall, with three wins and two draws in their last five encounters. Derby County have struggled to beat Millwall, losing their most recent match 0-1 at home. This pattern suggests that Millwall might have the psychological advantage going into this fixture.
Derby County's predicted 4-4-2 formation will likely see them focus on a solid defensive structure with Clarke and Langås at the heart of the defence. In attack, Agyemang and Salvesen will be expected to lead the line, with Ward and Brereton providing width and support from the wings.
Millwall (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Crocombe (GK), Crama (DF), Cooper (DF), Taylor (DF), Sturge (DF), De Norre (MF), Kelly (MF), Azeez (MF), Bangura-Williams (MF), Emakhu (MF), Ivanovic (AT)
Millwall's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation should allow them to dominate the midfield with De Norre and Kelly anchoring the centre of the park. The attacking trio of Emakhu, Azeez, and Bangura-Williams will look to create chances for Ivanovic, who will be the focal point up front.
Key Battles & Players to Watch

Agyemang (Derby County): Agyemang's ability to hold up play and link with Salvesen will be key for Derby County's attacking threat.
