Preston – Derby Prediction & Picks (02.04.2018)

A new day of the English Championship where two teams of the upper half of the table will play. The locals are worse in the classification but Derby has a pretty bad days.

Both know that their chances of playing the promotion playoff go through a run of good results as there are up to 6 teams (from 5 to 10) in 2 points.

We are going to what interests us, the corners.

Preston has an average of 9.7 corners in 38 games (5.1 own and 4.5 opposite) reaching the 10 corners in 18 (47%), the local average condition rises to 10.5 in 19 games (5.8 own and 4.6 contrary) and reaching 10 in 11 (58%).

Important the field factor for the team in this section and above all I like the issue that they are the ones who get the most corners.

Derby has an average of 10.8 corners in 38 games (5.0 own and 5.8 opposite) reaching 10 in 25 (65%), as a visitor the average decreases slightly to 10.4 in 19 games (4.1 own and 6.3 contrary) reaching 10 in 12 (63%).

Despite the fact that normally their opponent gets more corners, especially as a visitor, they usually contribute a good number of corners.

-Vs Nottingham 6 corners
-Vs QPR 2 corners
-Vs Reading 3 corners
-Vs Sheffield 7 corners
-Vs Millwall 5 corners

Joining both averages we would have a 43/76 (56%) and a 23/38 (61%) to this we must add that both teams need victory in their aspirations for the struggle for promotion. If either team is able to get ahead on the score, especially Derby, it should not be difficult to watch a game with 11-12 corners.
