Prediction: 1-0
Leyton Orient
After failing to impress in a goalless draw with Wycombe Wanderers, Derby County will be looking to extend their winning run at home ground to five games when they take on Leyton Orient in the League One round 44. The Rams are eager to stay in the automatic promotion berth, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. The good news for the hosts is that Sonny Bradley is back from suspension, while all Dwight Gayle, Craig Forsyth, and Ryan Nyambe remain in the recovery room.
Leyton, on the other hand, have slim playoffs chances as they are eight points behind top six in the standings. Considering Derby have been producing fine performances at home of late, we predict that Richie Wellens’ troops are going to return home with their hands empty. Ruel Sotiriou suffered an injury in a 2-2 draw with Exeter, with Zech Obiero likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Conor Hourihane):
Conor Hourihane is an Irish footballer who plays for Barnsley. The midfielder was born on 2 February, 1991 and he started his youth career at Premier League club Sunderland. In 2011 he joined Plymouth Argyle and he spent three years at Home Park.
After scoring 15 goals in 125 appearances for the Pilgrims in 2014 Hourihane decided to take next big step in his career. On 23 June he signed a three-year deal with Barnsley for a fee of £250,000. In August he won the League One Player of the Month award and, no doubt, he made a flying start to his Barnsley career. Hourihane made 46 appearances for the Tykes in the 2014/2015 League One campaign, scoring 15 goals and he certainly helped the team return to the Championship.
The Irish midfielder has eight caps for the U-21 team. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as defensive and left midfielder as well. Conor Hourihane is a right-footed footballer.
