Swansea City - Derby County predictions

The online bookies marked Swansea City as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Derby County winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Swansea City, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The Swans returned home from their previous Championship trip with a huge point in the bag. They went behind after the first 45 minutes but pulled no punches after the break to earn a much deserved – and completely surprising - Leeds United draw.

Derby played against Preston North End in the previous round on home grounds, with top online bookmakers pricing their victory at 3.91. The scores were still tied at the 45-minute mark, but Derby County went on to score several goals in the second half and decisively win.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for The Rams. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

The two teams already met this season in the Championship, with Swansea taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 1xbet priced at 1 odds.
