Derby have been struggling on their top-flight travels for a sustained period of time, suffering 15 defeats in 21 trips, and their most recent eight away matches have yielded a grand total of just two points. Meanwhile, title-chasing Cardiff had secured 15 victories in 21 attempts on home soil in the Championship.
12 of the last 18 Derby matches at the top table of the Championship had been of the under 2.5 goals variety, so excitement has been in fairly short supply. Not only that, but, before last match, nine of the previous 15 Cardiff games at this level had also delivered no more than a couple of successful strikes.
At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 15 of the previous 18 league games involving Derby, and both of their meetings with Cardiff last season finished goalless. Speaking of the hosts, eight of their most recent 12 home matches have followed the same pattern, so anyone expecting a thriller is likely to be disappointed by this contest.

Although promotion-chasing Cardiff have been renowned for playing some swashbuckling football this season, four of Cardiff previous five games at this level have actually produced under 2.5 goals. This has also been the case in six consecutive Derby matches in the Championship, so expectations should be lowered ahead of this contest.

译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

德比已经在他们的顶级联赛中挣扎了很长一段时间，在21次客场比赛中输掉了15场比赛，最近的8场客场比赛总共只拿到了2分。与此同时，争冠的加的夫在本土的21次尝试中获得了15次胜利。
在过去的18场德比比赛中，有12场进球都在2.5球以下，所以激动人心的场面相当少。不仅如此，在上一场比赛之前，在加的夫的15场比赛中，有9场的进球都不超过两球。
这两名门将中至少有一人在之前18场与德比有关的联赛比赛中有15场没有失球，上赛季他们与卡迪夫的两次交锋都没有进球。说到东道主，他们最近的12场主场比赛中有8场遵循同样的模式，所以任何期待惊悚片的人可能会对这场比赛失望。

尽管追求晋升的卡迪夫本赛季以踢出一些虚张声势的足球而闻名，但卡迪夫之前的五场比赛中，有四场的进球都低于2.5个。在英冠连续六场德比战中也是如此，所以在这场比赛之前应该降低期望值。
