Stoke City make the short trip to face Derby County in a contest that could shape both sides\u2019 hopes of a top-half finish in the Championship — not to mention Derby’s still-considerable playoff aspirations. Recent head-to-head meetings have been closely fought, with Stoke coming out on top in their last clash. Kick-off is scheduled for 15:00 on Monday at Pride Park, and all eyes will be on whether Derby can make home advantage count against a Stoke side boasting statistical edges in several key areas.<\/p>\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n

Based on Stoke City’s superior shot accuracy, stronger defensive record, and the attacking threat of their creative midfielders, our top betting recommendations centre on both teams to score and player disciplinary markets. We’re particularly confident in ‘Both Teams to Score’ due to each team\u2019s tendency to both find the net and concede, while the value in the cards market stands out given both sides\u2019 disciplinary records.<\/p>\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Betfred<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe’re backing goals at both ends as Derby have scored 58 and conceded 51 in 40 games, while Stoke have 48 for and 43 against. Both teams have hit the net in four of the last six meetings, and neither defence looks watertight.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n10\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(52.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nDerby matches average 2.7 goals, Stoke 2.3. With both attack-minded, and Derby\u2019s defence conceding from inside the box regularly, there\u2019s value in this total goals line.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ben Pearson to be Carded<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/8 @ Bet365<\/a>
(42.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nPearson has a reputation for tough tackling and will be in the thick of midfield battles. With Derby drawing plenty of fouls, and Stoke averaging 80 yellows this term, this looks a smart play at the price.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n
