Derby County will aim to secure a win on their home soil and extend their winning ways to three games, while Stoke City will aim to secure a win and snap their winless streak of two games. Therefore, I expect both teams to display a class in front of the net, and I expect at least one goal at halftime. However, since I expect both teams to display in front of the net, I expect their defensive units to react since both teams will aim to avoid a defeat and prevent losing to League One relegation. So, I expect multiple corner kicks since their defence will perform.
