Stoke vs Derby prediction

The fact that Stoke City required a point on the final day to guarantee safety was fairly humiliating for the Potters after both Steven Schumacher and Narcis Pelach had been sacked before the appointment of former Coventry City boss Mark Robins around the turn of the year.

Derby County required the ambitious appointment of then Blackburn Rovers boss John Eustace to pull off something of a great escape in the final couple of months of the campaign. Eustace has now done three excellent jobs at three different clubs, and the Rams will be confident of kicking on.

What is likely between these two sides that perhaps lack an exciting level of technical quality is quite a technically correct but fairly dull encounter at the Bet365 Stadium.

Stoke vs Derby tip: Under 2.5 goals
