Next Thursday there will be an emotional reunion for the United fans with their all-time record scorer in the FA Cup, which has been ending his successful player career in the second-rate championship since autumn 2019. Before the Derby County duel against Manchester United, the odds of the best bookmakers clearly move towards the guests who want to make the quarter-finals of the world’s oldest cup competition for the sixth time in a row.
On paper, this task definitely seems feasible, as the hosting “Rams” have been playing a disappointing season so far and have only been able to win three of their last ten matches in the league. The team of the Dutch coach Phillip Cocu ranks in the no man’s land of the table and can therefore pay a lot of attention to the game of the year in the cup.

It remains to be seen to what extent the Solskjaer-Elf puts the priority on the FA Cup, as the fifth of the Premier League is still fighting for participation in the Champions League 2020/21 and also has chances to win the Europa League.

Nevertheless, due to the recent impressions and the difference in the available quality between Derby County and Manchester United, a prediction on the favorites is obvious. You can find out which betting providers offer high favorite odds.

Derby vs Manchester United Betting Odds and Predictions

Derby – Statistics & current form

As a former founding member of the Football League, founded in 1888, Derby County has always been one of the most prominent names in English football. However, this standing has declined significantly in recent years. Since 2008, the “Rams” have only been second-rate active and there is currently nothing to suggest that this will change in the foreseeable future.

After sixth place last year, which allowed them to participate in the playoffs in which Derby surprisingly reached the final but failed there at Aston Villa, the club managers had set great goals for the current season. Among other things, Phillip Cocu was hired as a popular name as a trainer. After more than 36 matches in the English Championship, the white and black are lagging far behind in their own expectations.

Derby County caught in the gray mediocrity

Derby County only ranks 13th and is currently eight points behind the playoff ranks. However, because the lead over the relegation zone is also quite comfortable with ten points, a final placement in the gray mediocre beckons. In order to bring the season to a positive conclusion, the first entry into the FA Cup quarter-finals since 1999 would be very good for the “Rams”.

In the course of the competition so far, the second division first eliminated Crystal Palace and then Northampton Town. If the Cocu-Elf only needed 90 minutes (1-0) against the Premier League club from London, they had to play a replay against Northampton Town after a goalless draw abroad, which could be won with 4: 2.

In general, the men around superstar Wayne Rooney are clearly to be assessed more strongly at home. Of the 18 home games in the second-highest English division to date, just two have been lost. In the calendar year 2020, the “Aries” at the Pride Park Stadium are even completely unbeaten.

Ram’s shape leaves something to be desired

Nevertheless, with only three successes from the last ten league games, the form is anything but outstanding. After all, the dress rehearsal last weekend at Sheffield Wednesday (3-1) was again successful after four games without a win (two draws, two bankruptcies).

Due to injuries, coach Phillip Cocu still has to do without Richard Keogh, Krystian Bielik, Duane Holmes and Tom Huddlestone. In addition to Wayne Rooney, who has already scored four goals and prepared two more since the beginning of the year, Martyn Waghorn and Tom Lawrence particularly stand out aggressively from the collective.

Defensive, however, with 49 goals already received, there are clear weaknesses that speak for a tip in favor of the “Red Devils” between Derby County and Manchester United on Thursday.

Probable lineups of Derby:

↳ Hamer; Bogle, Davies, Clarke, Forsyth; Bird, Shinnie; Lawrence, Rooney, Knight; Martin

Last games from Derby:

⚽️ 02/29 2020 Sheffield Wednesday vs Derby 1-3 (Championship)
⚽️ 02/25 2020 Queens Park Rangers vs Derby 2-1 (Championship)
⚽️ 02/21 2020 Derby vs Fulham 1 – 1 (Championship)

Derby vs Manchester United Betting Odds and Predictions

Manchester United – Statistics & current form

The FA Cup has been one of Manchester United’s favorite competitions in recent years. Even if the Premier League did not go according to plan and there were no great successes on the international stage, the “Red Devils” have at least always reached the quarter-finals in the most important English club cup in the last five seasons!

In 2016, the 20-time national champion won the title, two years later it was enough for the final. Against Chelsea FC, the world club from the industrial city was the loser. So that the red-white-blacks do not have to sail on the Thursday before the round of the last eight for the first time since 2014, it needs a success at the Pride Park Stadium.

United unbeaten for eight competitive games

The current constitution of the Solskjaer-Elf is definitely impressive. Cross-competition, none of the last eight games was lost. Among other things, United prevailed in the Europa League at FC Bruges. In addition, the fifth in the top division in England recently conceded only one goal in four Premier League games.

Despite important failures of absolute regular players, it seems as if the Norwegian coach got the curve and turned the right screws. The return to the Champions League can still be reached via regular league operations as well as via the Europa League. However, we do not believe that the FA Cup therefore plays no role in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans.

The prestigious competition actually enjoys a high reputation among all top teams. If the second round goes against a second division team, the motto is clear. Only a win after regular time counts!

Accordingly, we dare before the duel Derby County vs Manchester United also predicted that the favorite’s success would be more than a hit difference. The difference in quality is too big for the home side to count on serious chances for the cup coup. Pogba, Rashford, Tuanzebe, Fosu-Mensah and probably also Daniel James will miss the round of 16 due to injuries.

Probable lineup of Manchester United:

↳ Romero; Dalot, Bailly, Maguire, Williams; McTominay, Fred; Lingard, Mata, Greenwood; Ighalo

Manchester United’s last matches:

⚽️ 03/01 2020 Everton vs Manchester United 1-1 (Premier League)
⚽️ 02/27 2020 Manchester United vs Club Brugge  5-0 (Europa League Final Stage)
⚽️ 02/23 2020 Manchester United vs Watford 3-0 (Premier League)
⚽️ 02/20/2020 Club Brugge vs Manchester United 1-1 Europa League Final Stage
⚽️ 02/17/2020 Chelsea vs Manchester United 0-2 (Premier League)

Derby vs Manchester United Direct comparison

For the twelfth time the two teams face each other in the FA Cup. ManUtd prevailed in eight of the previous eleven cases, most recently in 2017/2018, when the “Red Devils” won 2-0 at home. The last away game at Pride Park Stadium is from the 2015/2016 season. Even then the favorite kept the upper hand with 3-1.

The last encounter so far was in the past season. In the third round of the less important League Cup, the “Rams” managed the surprise and prevailed after penalties. If there is another renewal on Thursday between Derby County and Manchester United, high odds will be offered.

Derby vs Manchester United Betting Predictions and Odds

The FA Cup round of 16 between Derby County and Manchester United is of course completely overshadowed by the English national team’s record scorer. Wayne Rooney, who is now in the service of the second division club, will play against his old colleagues at Pride Park Stadium on Thursday evening, with whom he partly won the FA Cup four years ago.

It remains to be seen whether the “Rams” superstar, who has meanwhile emigrated to the USA, can ensure that the second division team realize the surprise coup against the twelve-time triumphant.

The bottom line is that we decide between Derby County and Manchester United for a tip that the Premier League fifth will win with at least two goals difference.
