Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: West Ham United to win — 1.81
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: over 2.5 — 1.91
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Both teams to score: YES — 1.82
The Hammers head into this game as the favourites, thanks to their current form. West Ham United won two and draw one in their last four matches across all competitions. Because they are finding consistency, they will want to win this game.
Derby County’s last four matches ended with over 2.5 goals. Only one of West Ham United’s last four matches ended with over 2.5 goals. Because Derby have scored in each of their last four games and West Ham are likely to win, I believe this game could end with over 2.5 goals.
Three of Derby County’s last four matches ended with both teams scoring. West Ham United have conceded at least one goal in two of their last four matches. There’s a chance this game could end with both teams scoring.
The Rams have won their last four matches across all competitions, including their 3-0 win over Barnsley in the FA Cup third round.
occupy the 4th position with 50 points after 27 matches.
The Hammers have won two of their last four matches in all competitions, including their 1-0 win over Brentford in the FA Cup third round.
Derby are in top form, having won their last four matches across all competitions. However, they are likely to lose to West Ham United, due to the quality of player in the Hammers’ squad.
This game won’t contain many goals, hence I feel it would be a tight win for the visitors.
Although West Ham United are the favourites to win the game, I feel it’s safer to back them to avoid a defeat against the Rams.
