Odds: 19/20 @ BetUS

Seeking an immediate Championship response on Tuesday night, Derby will travel to a Swansea squad who find themselves at the heart of a public crisis.

Starting with the hosts, still waiting to appoint a permanent replacement following Liam Manning’s exit earlier in the month, Swansea are enduring what has quickly become a major Championship crisis. Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny this season, the Jacks are scrapping it out at the foot of the table and appear that they will have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their second-tier status. Last seen over the weekend marking their return from November’s international break with a woeful 3-0 drumming away at Bristol City, Swansea have now lost all of their previous three consecutive Championship appearances by an aggregate score of 9-2. Heading into November’s fortnight interval with a 4-1 defeat at home against Ipswich, it is no surprise that Tuesday’s hosts have gained a reputation for their glaring defensive struggles. Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to an end on October 29th as they slumped to a 3-1 loss against Premier League giants Manchester City, the Jacks have recorded just a sole clean sheet across any competition since the end of August.

As for the visitors, suffering a dramatic second-half collapse on home soil over the weekend as they eventually fell to a rollercoaster 3-2 loss against Watford, Derby will be desperate to immediately dust themselves down. Knowing the importance of not showing any signs of a hangover on Tuesday night, the Rams should still find the mood in their camp at a high. Heading into November’s international break with consecutive 2-1 victories against Blackburn and Hull, John Eustace’s men are sat just two points adrift of finding a shock route into the play-off places. Getting November underway with a stunning 3-1 romp away at Sheffield United, Derby have won five of their previous six Championship appearances – a run that stems back to October 18th. It should also be highlighted, Tuesday’s guests have secured back-to-back Championship wins away from Pride Park for the first time since April. Despite losing each of their last three straight showdowns against Swansea by an aggregate score of 5-2, Eustace’s men could be smelling a potential opportunity when they travel to South Wales in midweek.
