Derby County will face off against Middlesbrough in a Championship match this Saturday. The game marks Derby’s first home league fixture at Pride Park this season as they seek their first points in the second tier under manager Paul Warne.

Derby suffered a 4-2 defeat to Blackburn Rovers on the season opener but managed to secure a victory against Chesterfield in the Carabao Cup. On the other hand, Middlesbrough has had a strong start, winning their first two games against Swansea City and Leeds United.

Ahead of the match, Derby completed the signing of goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom from Djurgardens for £1.4 million. Zetterstrom’s registration for the game against Middlesbrough is anticipated, although international clearance could potentially cause a delay.

With uncertainty surrounding the starting goalkeeper, Zetterstrom is unlikely to feature immediately against Middlesbrough. Supporters hope the new signing will bolster the team’s chances in what looks to be a challenging season for Derby County.
