Pick of the stats: Derby County v Birmingham City

The Derby County and Birmingham City club crests side by side

Derby County have managed only one point from their opening three Championship games as they host Birmingham City on Saturday (12:30 BST).

Blues head to the east Midlands without a win in their past three league matches so both sides will be hoping for an upturn in form.

  • Derby County have only lost two of their past 13 home league games against Birmingham City (W6 D5) - a 3-0 defeat in January 2016 and a 2-1 loss in April 2021.

  • Birmingham have only lost one of their past five league games against Derby County (W2 D2), although it was their most recent, a 1-0 loss at Pride Park in March last season.

  • Derby have lost their past two league games; the Rams last lost three in a row in March 2025.

  • Birmingham have only won one of their past nine away league games (D3 L5), a 2-1 victory at Wrexham in August.

  • No goalkeeper has made more saves in the Championship this season than Derby's Jacob Widell Zetterstrom (22).
