Stoke City and Derby County barely avoided relegation to League 1 last year, and this season they will certainly want to perform much better. The campaign starts with a match between them.
Triple match
The first duels of the season in the Championship are very difficult to predict, and friendly matches should never be taken too seriously in this regard. Mark Robins is at the helm of the "Potters", who is certainly used to higher placements than the battle for survival. Probably everyone at the "Bet365 Stadium" will hope for the same. The "Rams" also made a remarkable end to the last campaign under John Yustas and will be chasing a strong start now. Every prediction will be risky, but I will give the home advantage here.
Bet on Stoke to win
Let's see if the hosts will actually take the debut three points.
