THE PREDICTION

Derby County made it back-to-back wins at home after a superb 1-0 victory over West Brom on Monday. They remain 14 points from safety at the foot of the Championship table but their current form would see them in the lower-half of mid-table were it not for their points deductions. After a mini-blip in November, Stoke City have taken four points form their last two league games and they have two games in-hand on many of their fellow play-off chasing rivals. Only one side has scored in each of the Potters’ last seven matches and in four of Derby’s last five, which makes both teams not to score a tempting quirk to follow here. Otherwise, taking the hosts to avoid defeat with double chance in what could be a very tight encounter seems a reasonable outcome.
