Derby vs West Brom Prediction & Betting tips
The game with the most interests this weekend is the match between Derby County and West Bromwich Albion. The home team must win to be sure of place six while West Bromwich Albion is already getting ready for the play-offs. Looking ahead!
Derby County:
Derby County is very close to the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League. It has been playing for sixth place all season long and had lost it for the past two months, but manager Frank Lampard’s team got in shape just in time to capture and maintain this position. It still needs a win to be sure of the coveted place six but feels the hot breath of Middlesbrough and Bristol City in the neck. Middlesbrough has one point less and Bristol City has two points less than The Rams.
Derby County did a good job last Saturday by winning 0-2 from Bristol City at Ashton Gate. Last Wednesday the catch-up match against Swansea City in Wales was scheduled. After a 0-1 lead by a goal from Richard Keogh, it was eventually 1-1 by a goal from Wayne Routledge. This result kept the play-off opportunities alive for the competitors. With a win it would already have been certain of the play-offs. It needs another point on Sunday afternoon.
West Bromwich Albion:
West Bromwich Albion makes this season the most stable impression of the three relegants from the Premier League. Stoke City bumped somewhat anonymous in the middle bracket and Swansea City came in short with ninth place. Fourth place does justice to the power relationships in the Championship. The most exciting thing that happened at West Bromwich Albion was the trainer change. Darren Moore had to make way for interim trainer James Shan at the start of the spring. The new temporary manager performs excellent with a average of 2.11 points per game. His predecessor did it considerably less with 1.69 points per race.
For West Bromwich Albion, there is nothing else to do on Sunday afternoon than to do its sporting duty. If it does not win this game, it will end in fourth place and take on Aston Villa in the play-offs. With a win over Derby County and a defeat from Leeds United, it finishes third. It seems unlikely that Derby County and West Bromwich Abion will meet in the first round of the playoffs.
