Stoke City welcome the visitors Derby County in the English Championship – Round 19. The match will be held on Wednesday, November 28th at the Bet365 Stadium (Stoke on Trent).
As we know from the last season results, Stoke City have dropped from the English Premiere League and are currently sitting in the middle of the Championship league table. The team were expected more – to finally start winning, climbing the league table. Still, as for now we can only observe consistent draws, at this the latest 5 matches in a row were not effective at all. The draws were mostly unexpected, ending with 4 goals. In our view, Stoke City do not deserve anything more than a draw in the clash with a club like the Derby County. The Potters don’t score often enough to easily win the quite strong visitors.

Derby County are currently 6th in the standings, and they are yet off the play-off zone to get a chance to pass to the Premiere League. In their 18 matches, they got 9 wins, 4 draws, and 5 defeats. If the Rams strive to transfer to the PL and want to increase their fees, they need to get points fighting in every match, especially with the passable opponents like the Stoke City. For the time being, the fans expect a draw in the coming match; the margin on this draw is rapidly going down, and such an outcome looks quite interesting. Recently, Derby County have decently opposed to Chelsea in the Cup match – 3:2. The Chelsea assistant head coach was very positive about the opposition that time, ‘They really played with a lot of quality and surprised us’.
Looks like the game is going to be difficult for both teams, but the hosts’ win seems least possible given the current form of the both sides. Also, Derby County look more motivated, as they have chances to climb the table. Stoke City will surely create tough moments for the guests, but it will be too difficult for them to win. In our view, the Wednesday match will see either a draw, expected by most fans, or a win by the visitors. It is a pity that the margin has got down already, but still we bet either on an away win or a draw, as this prediction looks rather appealing.
Prediction for the match: Derby County to win away or Draw.
