Derby County Preview – Can Derby win four on trot at home?
Derby’s recent positive 5-match run without defeat in the Championship was brought to an abrupt end in a high-scoring and eventful 3-2 defeat away from home at relegation threatened Luton Town in midweek, but The Rams have produced impressive displays of late at home.
Derby have won their last 3 matches on home turf at Pride Park with victories over Charlton Athletic, Barnsley and Hull City and it’s been their performances and results at home that have prevented Derby from being dragged down into the relegation battle below them so far this season.
An overall home record of 8-5-2 19/11 has also saved manager, Phillip Cocu’s bacon so far this term too as Derby’s results away from home have been simply woeful – just 1 away win all season is simply not good enough and this has resulted in Derby occupying a disappointing 16th place in the Championship.
Nevertheless, Derby have lost just 1 of their last 13 matches at Pride Park and this should stand them in good stead ahead of this upcoming clash against Stoke City.
Stoke City Preview – Can Stoke continue winning run?
3 wins from their last 4 matches has given Stoke City a much-needed morale boost and also extremely valuable daylight between themselves and the bottom three of the Championship ahead of their trip to face Derby County at Pride Park on Friday night.
Victories over Huddersfield Town 5-2 away from home was followed by an even more impressive 1-0 win at 2nd placed West Brom before last weekend’s 2-0 home win against Swansea City which has lifted The Potters up into 20th place but more importantly, put a margin of 5 points between them and third from bottom club, Wigan Athletic.
Confidence is therefore likely to be high as they prepare for this clash at Derby, especially as they’ve won their last two away matches on the trot, but before these welcome wins, Stoke had been subjected to 4 away defeats on the trot, so it’ll be interesting to see if they can continue their momentum against a solid Derby side at Pride Park.
