Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Derby
There will be fireworks when Middlesbrough and Derby County face each other at Riverside Stadium on Matchday 32. After eliminating Man Utd in the FA Cup, the Boro shared the spoils with QPR in their last league match to stay in the playoffs race. Middlesbrough are eyeing their sixth consecutive win in front of home fans, and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s clash.
Both Marc Bola and Marcus Browne remain in the recovery room, but key players should be fit for the match. The Rams, on the other hand, are putting a great effort to survive in the English second tier. Derby County proved their worth in a 3-1 home win over Hull City, but given their anything but brilliant away record, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the Boro. Jamaica midfielder Ravel Morrison is back from international duty, while Richard Stearman returns from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Sol Bamba):
Souleymane “Sol” Bamba is an Ivory Coast international who plays for Leeds United in the Championship. The defender spent five years in PSG youth school (1999-2004) and he made no more than one league appearance for the first team.
In July 2006 he signed for Scottish team Dunfermline and after spending two years at East End Park, he moved to fellow Scottish Premier League club Hibernian in 2008. Sol Bamba played as a centre back for the Hibs and he was producing brilliant performances with the Easter Road outfit.
The Ivory Coast defender used to play for the likes of Leicester City, Trabzonspor and Palermo in the past as well and on 24 June, 2015 he signed a permanent deal with Leeds United. Bamba made his Ivory Coast debut in 2008 in a friendly game against Israel. Over the years he has established himself as Ivory Coast first-team regular, but he was surprisingly omitted from the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations Ivory Coast squad. Bamba is a 190-cm-tall centre back and he is well known for his aerial skills and brilliant tackles.
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.
