AFC Bournemouth - Derby County betting tips and odds

With the 1.65 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Derby County, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

Derby are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of AFC Bournemouth.

The Cherries are coming on the back of a tied home game, which flew into the face of almost all betting odds and predictions for that match. Despite all the advantages, they fell behind in the first half and had to scrounge for a draw as the game progressed.

In the previous round of the Championship, Derby turned a slight edge in form and home-field advantage into a decisive 2:0 victory against Barnsley.

AFC Bournemouth leave quite the impression whenever we see them play in front of their fans at Vitality Stadium. They scored more than 5 goals in total the last 3 times they did so, which is a solidly impressive record.

Derby’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 6 in their previous 3 away games.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Championship clash tells a different story. AFC Bournemouth lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 1.65. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
