Prediction: 2-0
Derby
All eyes will be on Madejski Stadium when Reading and Derby County face each other in the Championship round 40. The Royals are on a four-game winless run, but it has to be noted that they missed several clear-cut chances to score the winner against at Barnsley. Michael Morrison has joined the likes of Tom McIntyre, John Swift, and Felipe Araruna in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in Veljko Paunovic’s team.
You should know that Reading are eyeing their 12th home win of the season. The Rams, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Luton, and they managed to get one. Derby County are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of shocking Reading, who are eyeing a place in the playoffs. All Jordon Ibe, Martyn Waghorn, Curtis Davies, and Krystian Bielik are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Andy Yiadom):
Andy Yiadom was born in Holloway, London, but he began his career in the youth team of Watford. After spending two years at the Watford football academy, the pacey full-back (winger) joined Hayes & Yeading United and he scored only one goal in 36 appearances in the league for the club.
At the end of the 2010/2011 campaign Yiadom moved to Braintree Town and after scoring seven goals in 27 appearances for the Iron he signed a contract with Barnet. The 180-cm-tall footballer played for Barnet from 2012 to 2016 and he scored 14 goals in 169 appearances for the Bees. Andy Yiadom then decided to take a step forward in his career as he moved to Championship side Barnsley.
The English footballer played 32 games in the league for the Tykes last season and he provided three assists for his teammates, while receiving four yellow cards. His main position is full-back (right-back), but he is capable of playing on the left flank as well.
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.
