Our prediction for this Championship match:
After sharing the spoils with WBA in their last league match, Millwall will look to get back on course when they take on Derby County at the Den. The Lions are after their third home win of the season, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Midfielder Aidomo Emakhu is banned for the match, while the likes of Tom Bradshaw, Josh Coburn, and Billy Mitchell remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Rams, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Queens Park Rangers and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game losing run. The triumph over QPR gave them a confidence boost, but given their dreadful losing run on the road, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on Millwall. The likes of Liam Thompson, David Ozoh, Jake Rooney, and Tom Barkuizen continue to miss out with injuries for the away team.
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.
