Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Derby County will be looking to retain their spot in top six when they face Shrewsbury Town at Greenhou Meadow in the League One round 4. The Rams are eyeing a quick return to the Championship, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to turn the dream into reality. Liam Senior has no fresh injury worries ahead of Tuesday’s clash.
The Shrews, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-1 win at Wycombe, which is probably the main reason why we predict they are going to grab something from thee midweek match. Tom Bayliss is widely expected to return to the starting XI despite the fact that Steve Cotterill has no fresh injury worries ahead of the visit of Derby. In their last meeting in a competitive match Shrewsbury defeated Derby 3-2 (EFL Cup), but the share of spoils is on the cards this time out.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Pierre):
Born on February 17, 1993 in Southall, England Aaron Pierre is a professional footballer who plays for Shrewsbury Town in the League One as a defender. Pierre started his youth career at Fulham at the age of 15 and in 2011 he moved to Brentford youth school.
Speaking of his senior career, the 185-cm-tall defender played for the likes of Brentford, Cambridge United, Wycombe Wanderers and Northampton Town before signing a deal with Shrewsbury Town in the summer of 2019. Aaron Pierre signed for the League One side for an undisclosed fee, penning a three-year deal. Despite being born in England, the Shrewsbury Town footballer represents Granada on the international stage.
He received his first call-up for the Grenada national team in September, 2015, but he has yet to find the net with the Spice Boys. The Grenada international’s main position is centre-back, whereas his preferred foot is left.
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.
