Prediction: 3-1
Derby
Blackpool and Derby County go head to head at Bloomfield Road in the Championship round 45. The Seasiders have been in a fine form in the season finale, with the team beating both Birmingham City and Barnsley, while sharing the spoils with Luton Town. Blackpool have a chance to climb to top ten in the standings, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash.
All Grimshaw, Sterling, Carey, and Ward should miss out with injuries for the home team. The Rams, on the other hand, failed to secure the Championship survival, but they surely want to finish the season in style. Wayne Rooney’s troops will be with their guards down in the penultimate game of the season, and, taking everything into account, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. Both Colin Kazim-Richards and Kamil Jozwiak are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Richard Keogh):
Richard Keogh is an English player, who has a deal with Derby County. The 188-cm-tall defender started his senior career in 2004 as he signed for Stoke City, but he was immediately sent on loan to Vikingur. After making nine appearances for the Icelandic club, he joined Bristol City in 2005.
Keogh made his Bristol City debut on 3 September, 2005 in a goalless draw with Colchester United. The Derby County defender then spent several seasons on loan at Wycombe, Huddersfield, Carlisle and Cheltenham before signing a permanent deal with Carlisle. Richard Keogh signed a three-year deal with Coventry City and he made 46 appearances for the club in the 2010/2011 Championship campaign.
Keogh played 45 games for Coventry in the 2011/2012 season and on July 2012 he joined Derby County. The defender made 178 appearances for the Rams until the 2016/2017 Championship campaign and he netted one goal for the iPro Stadium outfit. Keogh made his Republic of Ireland debut on 6 February, 2013 in a friendly game against Poland.
Highlighted Team (Derby):
Derby County is one of the 12 founder members of the Football League. However, nowadays the Rams compete in the Championship and they play their home matches at Pride Park Stadium. Derby County have won the two trophies in the English top flight (1971/1972, 1974/1975), with the team lifting the FA Cup trophy just after the World War II (1946).
Derby’s main rivals are Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Leeds United, but the rivalry between Forest and Derby is regarded as the biggest one.
The two teams take on each other in the East Midlands derby. The colour of Derby’s shirts is white, whilst their shorts are black. It has to be noted that the club was founded in 1884 by William Morley. The Rams competed in the European competitions four times, but they did not record a notable result in the European Cups. The club’s chairman is Mel Morris.
