Prediction: 1-1

Bournemouth

All eyes will be at Pride Park when Derby County and Bournemouth face each other in the Championship round 25. The Rams are on a three-game winless run in all competitions, with the team failing to impress in a 1-0 loss to Rotherham at the weekend. Wayne Rooney’s troops are eager to escape the relegation zone, and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at the Cherries. Bournemouth, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Luton on Matchday 24, but it has to be noted that Jefferson Lerma was sent off after 26 minutes.

The Colombia midfielder is banned for the midweek clash, while Stanislas is sidelined with injury. The likes of Danjuma, Gosling, and Mepham are all rated doubtful for the match. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Pride Park, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Davies is injured for the hosts, while both Lawrence and Stretton are major doubts.
