Prediction: 1-0
Derby
St. Andrew’s Stadium will host Tuesday’s football game between Birmingham City and Derby County. The Blues do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous four league fixtures. Birmingham City are eyeing their first win since December 9, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. The Rams, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Preston.
Since experienced forward Martyn Waghorn is out of contention through suspension, we are tempted to put our money on the Blues, who are eager to put an end to the negative trend in the Championship. Both Caolan Boyd-Munce and Zach Jeacock are sidelined with injuries for the hosts, while Curtis Davies remains in the Derby County recovery room.

After ending his spell with the Adelaarshorts outfit, he joined Groningen on 17 June, 2010 on a four-year deal. The Eredivisie club paid a €300,000 fee for the midfielder and it has to be noted that he spent five years at Euroborg stadium.

Kieftenbeld was born in Dalfsen where he attended Heilig Hartschool. His mother Anja played volleyball, while his father Joop worked as a football coach. The Birmingham City midfielder is well known for his ability to pass the ball quickly to his teammates, but for his hard tackles as well.
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.
