Prediction: 2-1
Derby
Hull City will be aiming to make amends for a 3-0 loss to QPR when they take on Derby County on Matchday 3. The Tigers have been playing some high-scoring games at the start of the season, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Keep in mind, though, that Ryan Longman got injured again in the defeat to QPR. Midfielder George Moncur, on the other hand, is banned for the match.
The Rams, on the other hand, are eyeing their first win of the season. Wayne Rooney’s troops do not seem to be at their sharpest at the start of the season, and given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Teenage attacker Jack Stretton is pushing for his first Championship start after he found the net in Saturday’s defeat. All Bielik, Buchanan, Knight, and McDonald are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Callum Elder):
Callum Elder is an Australia international who plays for Hull City in the League One. Elder started his youth career at Manly United, but in 2011 he was spotted by Leicester City scouts. Despite being a Leicester City player from 2013 to 2019, he did not see any game action with the Foxes in the Premier League.
Callum Elder played for the likes of Mansfield Town, Peterborough United, Brentford, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic, and Ipswich Town before signing a three-year contract with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, the pacey left-back has one cap with the Australia U20 team.
Elder’s favourite position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a centre-back as well. Elder wears the No. 3 jersey at Hull City, and he is an athletic full-back who likes getting up and down the left-hand side. The Australian player was born on January 27, 1995.
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.
