Match Preview
Derby scored twice in the final 15 minutes of their clash with QPR last time out as the Rams kept their play-off dreams alive with a 3-2 comeback win in London. John Eustace's side have won six straight at Pride Park and are one point behind sixth-placed Wrexham heading into the final weekend.
Second-half goals from Gustavo Hamer and Patrick Bamford did little to affect the outcome in gameweek 45 as Sheffield United were beaten 3-2 at home by Preston. Chris Wilder's side have suffered back-to-back league defeats heading into the final day of the campaign.
