THE PREDICTION
Derby’s mini revival continued at the weekend with their third successive clean sheet and fifth match without suffering defeat, as they drew 0-0 with Stoke City at Pride Park. Their opponents from South Wales travel to the East Midlands on a huge high after their 0-2 victory against fierce rivals Cardiff City, also their third straight league clean sheet. Fatigue could play a part in this match, with the two sides having been in action just four days previously. With each in such strong form defensively, goals are expected to be hard to come by here and whatever the outcome, it would be a big surprise if this match didn’t see under 2.5 goals scored.
