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

13:30
Prediction: 1-2
Derby
Fleetwood will be aiming to put an end to their dreadful winless run when they take on Derby County in the League One round 27. The Cod Army experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Shrewsbury and, as a result, the bookies see them as underdogs in Saturday’s clash. New signing Ronan Coughlan is expected to make his Fleetwood debut against Derby, while Carl Johnston is a major doubt.
The Rams, on the other hand, aim to recover from a heart-breaking 3-2 loss to Peterborough and given Fleetwood’s poor form in the English third tier, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. The likes of Martyn Waghorn, Conor Washington, Korey Smith, and Jake Rooney are injured for the away side, while Ryan Nyambe is back to contention.
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.
