Prediction: 1-1
QPR
Derby County will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run when they welcome Queens Park Rangers to their Pride Park in the Championship round 9. The Rams suffered a dip in form and given their difficulties at the back, home win should not be considered. On-loan defender Nat Phillips should be fit for Saturday’s clash, while all Tom Barkhuizen, Liam Thompson, Callum Elder, David Ozoh, and Jake Rooney remain in the recovery room.
The Hoops, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. As the capital club aim to get back on course as well, we predict that both sides are going to find the net in the Pride Park showdown. The likes of Jack Colback, Liam Morrison, and Jake Clarke-Salter miss out with injuries for the visiting team, while Slovenia forward Zan Celar is pushing for a start.
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.
