The PLAY: Derby County -110
3% Derby County (10:00 AM ET): This is a huge match for Derby County in terms of staying in the race for the Promotion Playoff down in the EFL Championship. Despite losing to 1st place Coventry City on Friday, the Rams enter matchweek 41 sitting 8th in the table, but just four points back of 6th place Wrexham for the final playoff spot. Wrexham will face 7th place Southampton Tuesday. So at least one of the two sides directly in front of Derby County is going to drop points this week. If they share, then a win here for Derby will have them right in the playoff mix. I’ll back what should be a motivated home team here as they’ve won four straight at Pride Park while conceding only two goals.
Friday’s loss to Coventry City was tough in that Derby Country twice erased a one-goal deficit, only to concede the eventual game-winning goal in the 80th minute. But again, considering the opposition and that it was an away match, that result doesn’t concern me. Just like Stoke City’s 2-0 win over Sheffield United, without question the worst team in the league this season, isn’t a “game-changer” for me. That’s a Sheffield United club that hasn’t won a league match since September. Stoke still sit 12th in the table and are 10 points back of the last playoff spot. So I question them being able to match Derby County’s motivation for this fixture.
Motivation is obviously just one part of the equation. However, again, we’re also getting a nice discount on the home side due to last Friday’s respective results. Remember that Derby County lost to the best team in the league, away, while Stoke City beat them worst team in the league at home. Speaking of home, not only has Derby County won four straight at Pride Park (by an aggregate score of 8-2), but Stoke has lost four straight away Championship matches and have scored just once in their last six trips here. All the signs seemingly point towards the hosts picking up all three points in this one. 3% Derby County (Play to -125)
