Derby County vs Aston Villa Prediction 20 August 2016

Tournament: Football League Championship
Location: Pride Park
Match date: 20.08.2016 at 17:30

On August 20 2016 at 17:30 at the Pride Park on the 4th regular matchday of the Football League Championship Derby County play against Aston Villa.

Pretty good results during the previous season let Derby County become one of the favorites of the league. After 46 games played they gained 78 points and took the 5th position in the standings. This result let them take part in the Championship Play-offs where they were knocked-off by Hull City in the semifinal with 3:2 aggregate score after two legs. As for the current season, Derby County drew Brighton 0:0, lost to Barnsley 2:0 and won against Preston 0:1.

Aston Villa, in their turn, had a lot of serious problems in the previous season in EPL connected with injuries. As a result in the end of the season they had 17 points and the last 20th position in the standings and relegated to the Championship. We must admit that the well-known Roberto Di Matteo became the new manager of the Villans. The start of the season of Aston Villa was not so impressive: they lost to Sheffield Wednesday 1:0, won against Rotherham 3:0 and drew Huddersfield 1:1.

In the history of head-to-heads of the teams Villa won most of the games. In the last two games in 2007/08 Aston Villa won both of the games 2:0 and 0:6. Aston Villa are very likely to be ready to solve their problems this season with the new manager.
