"Derby County"

The well-known "Derby County" has had a tough few years. Last year, the "Rams" performed quite well, but towards the end of the season, things started to unravel and the team missed out on the play-offs for a return to the Championship, falling short by one point.

In the 28th round, they were defeated by "Reading" in an extraordinary way. Following that, they won against "Cheltenham" with a scoreline of 2:1.

"Stevenage"

After 10 years, the team finally achieved promotion to League Two. The lads finished in 2nd place, amassing 85 points. This season, the squad continued to delight their fans in the third division. After 28 matches, "Stevenage" resides in 7th position with 53 points.

Prediction

In this showdown, I'd suggest trusting the hosts and betting on their victory. "Stevenage" has looked weak in recent matches, committing numerous errors. "Derby" has every chance to win as they are playing at home and are in good form going into this match.

Total Goals Prediction

It's unlikely that both teams will put on a high-scoring performance, so I would suggest betting the total goals over 2.5.
