Stoke vs Derby County 30.12.2021

The last time these teams met, there was little or nothing to write home about in terms of entertainment, and it looks like we are going to witness another drab encounter in the next instalment of this fixture.

Both sides have missed match days due to the recent outbreak of COVID-19 and we do not expect them to be up to speed in their first match in over a week respectively.

As a result, we fancy a tight game that will see the First Half likely to end in a stalemate.
