Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Exeter
Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 0-1
Derby
Following three consecutive league defeats, Exeter will look to get back on course in the League One when they take on Derby County on Matchday 43. The Grecians have nothing to play for in the season finale, and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered. Kevin McDonald is a major doubt after missing the last league match with injury, while there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The Rams, on the other hand, continue relying on experienced forward David McGoldrick, who scored his 19th goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers. Considering that the playoffs-chasing visitors want this win more than the hosts, we are tempted to put our money on Paul Warne’s troops. Louie Sibley could sneak into the starting line-up, with both Max Bird and Lewis Dobbin pushing for recalls as well.
Highlighted Player (Nicky Ajose):
Nicky Ajose is an English footballer who started his youth career at Manchester United. Despite signing a professional deal with the Red Devils, Ajose did not see any game action for the English giants at the senior level. After spending the 2010/2011 season on loan at Bury, the 168-cm tall forward signed a contract with Peterborough United in the summer of 2011.
Nicky Ajose played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Chesterfield, Crawley Town, Bury, and Swindon Town on loan before joining Leeds United on a three-year deal in August 2014. However, the English striker made no more than three league appearances for the Whites before signing a loan deal with Crewe Alexandra. In September 2015, he returned to Swindon Town, signing a three-year contract with the Robins.
Nicky Ajose played for the likes of Charlton Athletic, Bury (loan), and Mansfield (loan) before moving to his current club Exeter City. The Grecians attacker was born in Bury, England, on October 7, 1991, and his preferred foot is right.
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.
