Posted on by editor

Stoke City has a solid chance of making the quarterfinals of the FA Cup when it travels to Derby Count in the 4th round this weekend.

Derby vs. Stoke City Trends Analysis

Derby and Stoke clashed regularly in the Football Championship in past seasons, but have met each other in League Cup and club friendly fixtures more recently. In their last ten fixtures Derby has taken five wins, while Stoke has won four of these matches and one match ended in a draw. Stoke has won at Derby just once in this time.

Stoke’s most recent visit to Derby, for a club friendly in 2010, ended in a 1-0 win for Derby.

Derby have hit some solid form in the last few weeks, with four wins and a draw from five matches. The club has now gone six matches undefeated.

Derby have achieved these results largely through almost spotless defence, with just 1 goal conceded in five matches. The side’s strikers have been less convincing – with defence doing all the work, they’ve needed to score just 5 goals in five games to maintain their winning ways.

Stoke’s form doesn’t look quite as convincing, given that they lost to the rank bottom side in the Premiership, WBA, on the weekend, while their previous four matches produced two wins and two draws.

Stoke have put away 7 goals in five matches, but have struggled with some indifferent defending, that has let in 6 goals during the same period.

Derby vs. Stoke City Betting Tips

Derby will fancy their chances of knocking Stoke out of the FA Cup. They’ve got a solid track record against Stoke, and are in solid form.

Added to this, the Stoke attack looks like it might struggle against the resolute Derby defence. We’re expecting a low scoring game, and quite possibly a draw, with Derby the more likely to get the win.

Our Derby vs. Stoke City betting tip is to lay Stoke City at Betfair – this option will pay out on the draw or the win by Derby County.
