Despite losing 2-1 in the last round, Derby County's recent Championship form (W5, L2) has boosted their survival hopes, with the 'Rams' collecting 44.12% of their season points during this seven-game sequence.
Six of those have come at Pride Park, where Derby remain a strong first-half side, with eight of their joint-league low nine Championship home goals being scored before HT.
As such, scoring first is pivotal, with the team doing so remaining unbeaten in Derby's home Championship matches (W11, D3).
With their last five Championship home games (W3, L2) decided via a single-goal margin, Derby's push for a fourth home win in a row could possibly be a close affair.
However, they face one of the poorest Championship travellers, with Huddersfield being winless in their last ten road trips (D3, L7).
In addition, Huddersfield haven't won an away H2H in all competitions since November 1957 (D4, L20), but they travel with the relief of a first league win of 2021 last round (W1, D2, L6).
PREDICTION: GG & DERBY TO WIN. CS 2-1
