Prediction: 2-1
Derby
Bet365 Stadium will be the centre of attention when Stoke City and Derby County take on each other in the Championship round 13. The Potters aim to recover from the EFL Cup defeat to Southampton and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Rams. Talented Wales midfielder Lewis Koumas is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Sam Gallagher, Bosun Lawal, Lynden Gooch, and Ben Pearson remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Rams, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. Derby County, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given their poor away record (0-2-4) in the new Championship campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. All Ryan Nyambe, Tawanda Chirewa, Tom Barkhuizen, David Ozoh, and Jake Rooney are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
