this game is very important for both teams. derby is in the very good form with 8 points in the last 5 games - the last one was a win vs hull. on other side, after 2 wins in a row, stoke has now 2 defeats in a row. my tip is x in the 1st half.
In this match between Derby County and Stoke City, the best approach seems to be betting on **Under 1** goals in the first half. Both teams have shown a tendency for slower starts to games, with Derby averaging under 1 goal in the first 45 minutes in most of their recent matches. Stoke City's away form is also defensively solid, often prioritizing a steady build-up rather than early goals. With both teams focusing on structure, the odds of a low-scoring first half are high.
Teniendo en cuenta las actuaciones recientes y el historial entre los equipos, una victoria del Derby County es la apuesta más segura. Apostar a un resultado exacto de 2-1 también ofrece un buen valor. Para apuestas más conservadoras, se puede explorar el mercado "Más de 2,5 goles", dado el historial de juegos con múltiples goles entre los equipos.
