Prediction: 1-1
Derby
After impressing in cup games, MK Dons will look to return to winning ways in League One when they face Derby County in the League One round 18. The Dons rolled over Taunton 6-0 in the FA Cup, while beating Morecambe 2-0 in the EFL Cup, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the visit of Derby. All Grigg, Holland, and Barry should be recalled to the starting XI after the trio was rested in the midweek triumph.
The Rams, on the other hand, produced a fine display in the EFL encounter with Liverpool, but the Reds eventually made it to the next round on penalties. Derby now aim to climb to the League One playoffs berth, but beating the in-form Dons on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. Jason Knight has overcome his injury, while all Joseph Anang, Curtis Davies, James Chester, and Tom Barkhuizen remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Will Grigg):
Wighan Athletic striker Will Grigg became a viral sensation during the European Championship in France but the chances are any avid football fan will have been well aware of his goalscoring exploits even before 2016. The 27-year-old forward began his career at Stratford Town but it was in Walsall that the world took notice of his presence after 27 goals in 99 performances for the club.
He first came to prominence during the 2012/13 season when he was voted the club’s Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season, but a loan spell at Milton Keynes Dons during his rather unfortunate two-year spell over at Brentford proved crucial for his career.
The total of 20 goals in 44 appearances at Stadium MK was where Wigan Athletic noticed the Northern Ireland man and moved in to sign him on a three year contract for a £1 million fee in 2015. ‘Will Grigg’s on Fire’ was the hit song of the Euro 2016 even though the Northern Ireland striker ended up not getting a chance to make a bow in the tournament.
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.
