Prediction: 1-2
Derby
Saturday’s football game at the Mazuma Stadium pits together Morecambe and Derby County, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the remainder of the season. The Shrimps’ main goal is to secure yet another League One survival, while the Rams are eyeing promotion to the Championship. Anyhow, home win should not be considered as Morecambe have already suffered four defeats in front of home fans this season.
Donald Love serves a one-game ban, with fellow midfielder Jensen Weir likely to step up. The Rams, on the other hand, have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, and given their display in a 4-2 win over Bristol Rovers, away win should be considered. A man to watch in the visiting team will be David McGoldrick, who scored a hat-trick in the triumph over the Pirates, while experienced midfielder Conor Hourihane is banned for the match. Youngster Louie Sibley is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Anthony O\\\'Connor):
Born in Cork, the Republic of Ireland on October 25, 1992, Anthony O’Connor is a professional footballer who plays for Bradford City as a defender. His primary position is a centre-back, but he is used as both right-back and defensive midfielder as well.
The Irish footballer is a product of the Blackburn Rovers football academy, but he did not see any game action with the Riversiders at senior level. After ending his loan spells with the likes of Burton Albion, Torquay United, and Plymouth Argyle, Anthony O’Connor signed a permanent deal with the Pilgrims in 2015. At the end of the 2014/2015 season, O’Connor returned to Burton, signing a two-year contract with the Brewers.
In the summer of 2016, he moved to Scotland Premier League club Aberdeen where he scored five goals in 61 league appearances. In June 2018 he joined League Two side Bradford City. It has to be noted that Anthony O’Connor has eight caps with the Republic of Ireland U21 team.
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.
