Why it might land
  • Stoke come into this fixture on a very strong run after securing four wins and one draw from their last five matches.
  • Derby are having a tough time of it lately having suffered three defeats alongside one draw and just a single victory recently.
  • The bookmakers offer Stoke at a decent price of 2.45 to claim all three points on the road at Pride Park.
Why it might not
  • Stoke must play away from home at Pride Park where Derby will be desperate to turn their poor run of results around.
  • Derby did manage to win one of their recent matches so they are capable of springing a surprise against the visitors.

Members analysis

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Stoke City the side to beat here at 39%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Stoke City, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Stoke arrive in fine form and should take advantage of Derby struggling badly. The visitors look a fair price to win this Saturday afternoon.

Form and momentum

Derby County come in solid, winning 45% of 40 on record. 9 of their 20 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 draw in a row.

Stoke City come in patchy, winning 35% of 40 on record. 5 of their 20 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 2 wins in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 34% for DER, 27% for the draw and 39% for STK once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.45, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

When these two meet

These two have been level across 2 past meetings, 1 wins each and 0 drawn. Nothing in the history separates them.

Where it could go wrong
  • Stoke must play away from home at Pride Park where Derby will be desperate to turn their poor run of results around.
  • Derby did manage to win one of their recent matches so they are capable of springing a surprise against the visitors.
The bottom line

We back Stoke City for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.
