Looking to make an immediate return to winning ways on Monday afternoon, Derby will welcome Stoke to Pride Park.
Starting with the hosts, despite eventually falling to an action-packed 3-2 loss away at Championship leaders Coventry on Friday, Derby have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across England’s second-tier. Heading into March’s international break with an eye-catching 1-0 win at home against Birmingham, John Eustace’s side can move within touching distance of the play-off places here. Winning four of their previous six appearances, the former Blackburn boss will certainly be excited to make a return to Pride Park on Monday afternoon. Smelling a potential opportunity, Derby have gained a reputation for their extended success on home soil. Getting March underway with a 2-1 win against Sheffield Wednesday, Eustace’s side have won all of their previous four consecutive Championship showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 8-2. It should also be highlighted, the Rams have suffered just a single second-tier defeat at Pride Park since back on January 4th.
As for the visitors, making an immediate return to winning ways on Friday as they secured a routine 2-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke are still searching for some crucial stability. Heading into March’s fortnight interval with a 3-1 drumming at the hands of Preston, Mark Robins’ side have registered just a trio of wins from any of their previous 15 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to January 10th. Hit with back-to-back defeats against Coventry and Swansea on either side of opening March, Stoke have also continued to show some major issues outside of Staffordshire. In fact, Monday’s guests have lost their last four straight matchups on the road by an aggregate score of 8-1. Likewise, the Potters have recorded just a pair of wins on their travels since the start of November. It should also be noted, Stoke have failed to claim a single victory at Pride Park since way back in 2012.
