Derby County v West Brom Prediction: 23/20 Baggies to capitalise on Derby's struggles

West Brom will continue their strong start to the season when they travel to Pride Park to take on Derby County on Wednesday.

The Baggies head into matchday six in fifth after losing only one of their first five games in the Championship.

James Morrison's side have collected 10 points, which is double that of Derby's total, with the Rams struggling to get going under John Eustace.

Derby County v West Brom

Derby County v West Brom Prediction

Best Bet: West Brom to win @ 23/20

These two teams come into this fixture in contrasting fortunes, with the Rams well beaten by West Ham last weekend.

Derby fell to a 3-0 defeat at the London Stadium, while Albion secured a 1-0 victory over Watford.

The Baggies are now unbeaten in two in the second tier and they have plenty of momentum ahead of kick-off.

County's only win of the season came against Portsmouth, and they have yet to win at home.

In fact, Derby last won at home in April and West Brom have what it takes to take advantage.

While the Baggies have lost their last two away games against Newcastle United and Middlesbrough, they were expected to fall short in both of those matches and wins over Norwich and Burnley suggest they are capable of battling past Derby.

Alternative Bet: Both teams to score @ 8/11

Derby have failed to score in two of their last three matches, but those defeats came at the hands of West Ham and Swansea, who have both made impressive starts to the new campaign.

The Rams have netted six goals in six matches, but they should get some joy against a West Brom side that are far from perfect at the back.

Morrison's team have kept one clean sheet all season and the Baggies have conceded eight goals away from home already.

West Brom have what it takes to claim all three points, but Derby should still have some joy in front of goal.

Derby County v West Brom Bet Builder Tip

  • Isaac Price 1+ shots on target

  • Henrik Meister to be booked

  • Jimmy-Jay Morgan to be booked

    Pays 28/1

West Brom midfielder Isaac Price has been busy in the final third this season and he should be able to register another shot on target.

Price has registered 23 shots so far this season, with 11 of those hitting the target.

Team-mate Jimmy-Jay Morgan looks good value to pick up his second yellow card of the season, having committed 13 fouls already.

Derby's Henrik Meister could also be booked if he repeats his performance from last weekend.

Meister committed a whopping six fouls against West Ham in just 62 minutes, and a similar display should land him in the referee's notebook, even if he starts the game on the bench.
