Derby and Stoke to finish all square in Midlands derby
2209
On Wednesday night, Midlands rivals Derby and Stoke go head-to-head at Pride Park Stadium, as the home side look to improve their promotion chances.
Derby County have taken four points from their last two league matches after three consecutive defeats in the Championship that had put their chances of sealing a play-off spot in jeopardy.
Last time out in the league, County were held to a 1-1 home draw by Sheffield Wednesday. The draw leaves Frank Lampard’s team sixth place in the table, just a point ahead of seventh place Bristol City in the fight for a play-off spot.
Derby’s recent Championship games have been low scoring, with six of their last eight matches producing under 2.5 goals.
The Rams have a mixed recent record at Pride Park in the Championship. However, they have suffered just one home league defeat in nine outings. Their recent home games in the Championship have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight matches.
Stoke City are now ten points behind their Midlands rivals in the race for the play-off spots, after a run of one win in their last eight Championship games.
The Potters are actually five games unbeaten in the second-tier. However, four of those five unbeaten matches have finished in draws, including last time out when they drew 0-0 with QPR.
The visitors recent league matches have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last eight games in the Championship.
Stoke have failed to win any of their last ten away games in the second-tier. However, seven of those ten winless games have finished all square. Those recent away matches have been low scoring for the Potters in the second-tier.
Neither side is in great form, so it will come as little surprise that Forebet predicts that this game will end in a low scoring draw.
