Swansea City - Derby County predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Derby County are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Swansea City should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

It would be a minor miracle for The Rams to win at Swansea, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.63 price on most online sportsbooks.

Swansea are coming on the back of a crushing 3:0 away defeat at the hands of Bristol City . The odds were against them from the start, and they never managed to recover from the early lead Bristol City grabbed.

Derby County dropped an early lead against Watford in the previous round of Championship, which ultimately resulted in a narrow 2:3 loss for them. Most online sportsbooks and pundits saw the teams as evenly matched, though The Rams had a home-field advantage.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

This Tuesday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.38, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
