Prediction: 1-1
Blackburn Rovers
Pride Park will host Saturday’s Championship game between Derby County and Blackburn Rovers, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Rams are sitting in the relegation zone and they must be low on confidence following three consecutive defeats in the English second tier. Derby’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Blackett-Taylor, Brown, Clarke, Nelson, Ozoh, Ward, and Wilson.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, are eyeing a spot in the playoffs and a win over Derby should see them climb to top six. Nigeria forward Emmanuel Dennis serves a one-game ban due to accumulation of yellow cards, while all Harry Pickering, Jack Vale, and Scott Wharton remain on the sidelines with injuries. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both Derby County and Blackburn Rovers will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter.
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.
