Chorley vs Derby County Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by James | in FA Cup Predictions
A major FA Cup giant-killing could be on the cards this weekend when non-league Chorley welcome Derby County to the Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium on Saturday. Chorley were prepping themselves to take on several established Championship players now being coached by Wayne Rooney. Instead, they will play under-23 and under-18 prospects from the Rams after a Covid-19 outbreak ruled the entire squad out of action for the tie. The coaching staff are also unable to travel, much to the non-league party's disappointment hoping to meet Rooney. While they won't have the satisfaction of playing against established talent, Chorley now have a much better chance of making it through the third round. Presently tenth in the National League North, Chorley are enduring a rough patch during which they have failed to win three of their last five games. However, this itself comes after an eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions. They are unbeaten in four of their previous five home ties.
This outbreak is the latest blow in a tough season for Derby. 18th in the Championship table, Derby have failed to win 15 of their last 18 games in all competitions. While there have been signs of a recovery of late, Derby have played poorly this season. From a silver lining point of view, this game may reveal a few promising players worthy of starring in the first team. It's a lot to ask of inexperienced youngsters to spare the club's blushes away to lower-league opposition, though. Back Chorley.
