AI-Modelled Form (Last 6 Fixtures):

• Derby have 4 wins, 0 draws, and 2 losses in 6 — a polarised but positive record. Wins over Birmingham (1-0), Portsmouth (1-0), Sheffield Wednesday (2-1), and Blackburn (3-1) show clinical finishing and defensive organisation when switched on. Their losses came to Coventry (2-3) and Millwall (0-1), both credible opponents. Derby look sharp going forward and hard to beat at home.
• Oxford have 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in 6 — a decent run. Wins over Blackburn (1-0), Preston (3-1 away), and West Brom (2-1) are impressive results. Draws with Hull and Charlton, and a loss to Southampton (0-2) fill out the picture. Oxford are well-organised, capable of the unexpected, and their away win at Preston shows real quality. They travel well.
• Both sides are in strong form making this the tightest fixture on the list. Derby's home record and clinical attack give them a slight edge, but Oxford's quality away from home means this could go either way. A narrow home win is the marginal call.
