Derby County host Stoke City at the Pride Park Stadium for their clash in the EFL Championship on Saturday, aiming to pick up their second win of the campaign and get out of the relegation zone.
Derby County host Stoke City at Pride Park Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Derby sit second-to-last in the relegation zone with just six points, having failed to win their last six league matches after a recent 4-1 loss to Queens Park Rangers. Writer Sachin Bhat predicts Stoke City will secure a 3-1 away victory against the struggling Rams.
Stoke City occupy eighth place with 16 points from 10 games despite suffering a stoppage-time 3-2 defeat against Middlesbrough in their last match. That loss halted a six-game unbeaten run for the Potters. Derby have won only once this season, a 2-0 victory against Portsmouth on matchday four, and currently hold the longest active winless run in the Championship.
