Stoke vs Derby Prediction & Tips
The Potters finished last season in 18th position, just two points above the relegation zone, and the end of the season was disastrous: just one point from the last three games. The summer friendlies did not give the fans confidence: two defeats and a draw in five games played, although they did manage victories over Crewe and Burnley. The team, under the guidance of a new coaching staff, is trying to strengthen the defence, but creativity in attack remains a question mark.
The Rams finished last season in 19th place, just one point behind Stoke, but their final stretch was far more successful: six wins in eleven games. The arrival of John Eustace revitalised the team, which now presses better and uses quick counter-attacks more effectively. This was also reflected in the summer friendlies: four wins in their last five games.
