West Bromwich Albion - Derby County predictions

West Bromwich Albion are easily the favourites in the match this Monday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.95 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Derby County may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

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

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Championship disappointment. The Baggies suffered a disappointing Coventry City away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Monday.

Derby played as the home team in the previous round Championship, but the home-field advantage wasn’t enough to beat the 3.28 pre-match betting odds. Their opponents Luton Town took an early lead and carried it forward to a 0:1 victory.

WBA’s form has been far from perfect this season – especially when playing as visitors. They’re currently on a string of 3 lost away games.

Derby’s matches tend to avoid excitement. For example, their previous 2 home games ended with less than 1 goal in total at the final whistle.

These two squads already clashed this season, and The Baggies narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Monday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1 odds offered by 1xbet.
