Stats for this game

Matchup Southampton VS Derby

Southampton lead the league comparison

Southampton’s league edge rests on the 2-1 home win on 11 April 2026 and the 4-0 home victory over Derby on 18 February 2012. The 1-1 draws at Derby on 4 October 2025 and 15 October 2011 provide counterpoints, giving the matchup a Southampton lean without suggesting that every meeting follows the same margin. Derby therefore retain a route to change the league balance through more than one shared result.

The FA Cup ties stand apart

The clubs drew 2-2 at Derby on 5 January 2019, then produced a 4-4 score at Southampton before the shootout on 16 January 2019. Those high-scoring cup ties add a contrasting competition frame but remain secondary to the Championship line. Another league meeting can show whether Southampton add weight to their edge, whether Derby turn the draws into a victory, or whether the balance stays open through another shared scoreline.
