After suffering a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Barnsley at the weekend, Derby County will aim to get their League One campaign back on track when they welcome Cheltenham Town to Pride Park on Tuesday. The Robins, meanwhile, will need to pick themselves up after losing 4-0 to Barnsley and Portsmouth in their last two games.
Derby had lost once in 14 league games prior to Saturday’s away meeting with Barnsley, which proved to be a forgettable afternoon. David McGoldrick pulled a goal back after Devante Cole and Adam Phillips had given the Tykes a 2-0 lead, but Cole scored his second goal in first-half stoppage time to restore Barnsley’s two-goal advantage.
While the Rams were unable to mount a fightback in the second half, Barnsley added to their tally in injury time through Luke Thomas to condemn Derby to a 4-1 defeat. Although Paul Warne’s side will be downbeat following Saturday’s encounter, they remain in the playoffs and hold a four-point advantage over seventh-placed Wycombe Wanderers.
The Rams are currently unbeaten in 10 league games, and after winning eight of those matches, they may be confident that they can claim three points on Tuesday.

Derby County vs Cheltenham Prediction
It looks to us that Derby County look set to fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they meet Cheltenham Town, who could well struggle scoring a goal of their own.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a 2-0 winning score for Derby County at the end of this one.
