Prediction: 1-1
Derby County
All eyes will be on Elland Road when Leeds United and Derby County face each other in the Championship derby. The Whites head into Sunday’s football game following back-to-back defeats to the likes of Hull City and Nottingham Forest, meaning that they are desperate to give fans some cheer. Marcelo Bielsa’s men aim to retain top position in the standings and we are positive that they are going to stick to their attacking style of play against Derby. The Rams, on the other hand, did well to beat second-placed Norwich City in their last game in 2018, but they dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough. Anyhow, Frank Lampard’s men are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday’s football game and seeing that Leeds experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Forest, both teams to score bet should be considered.

Highlighted Player (Pontus Jansson):
Sweden international defender Pontus Jansson started his career at a local club Arlovs Bl before moving to Swedish giants Malmo in 2006. Three years later the talented centre-back was given his first-team debut, off the back of a highly successful season which saw his pick up a prestigious Academy Player of the Year award. During his five-year stay with Malmo Jansson went on to play 98 league matches, score 6 goals and impose himself as a commanding presence for his club. A ball-playing central defender who likes to keep things clean and simple, Jansson boasts impressive composure and never backs under pressure. The Swedish defender was plucked by the Serie A side Torino in 2014 where he failed to make his big international break. Three years into his stay in Italy – and a season-long loan at Leeds United after – Pontus Jansson moved to Elland Road on permanent basis. His work-rate, great positioning and impressive physicall ability made him one of the hottest properties in the summer of 2018 with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and other Premier League sides expressing interest in high services, but Jansson opted to remain at Leeds and work under Marcelo Bielsa.
Highlighted Team (Derby County):
Derby County are 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.
