Prediction: 0-2
Derby
Following a 1-1 draw with Cambridge United, Shrewsbury Town will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they take on Derby County on Saturday afternoon. The Shrews have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Oxford United, beating Northampton, while sharing the spoils with Cambridge United. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Derby.
The Rams, on the other hand, aim to climb to the playoffs berth and given their fine displays on the road in October, we believe that away win should be considered. Midfielder Louie Sibley is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after scoring a brace in the EFL Trophy triumph over Notts County at the weekend. In their last meeting in the English third tier the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
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.
