West Bromwich Albion hosts Derby County in round 42 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 8th at The Hawthorns (West Bromwich)
The hosts confidently dealt with Hull City in the last round but conceded a goal from one of the outsiders. It seems that the victories in the two last rounds were convincing, and Bilic’s team once again proved that it plays well only when it plays often. It seems that there was no doubt that West Bromwich will be able to keep second place, but the loss of points with Birmingham and Brentford showed that the Throstles may have problems against the organized defense of their opponents.

If we look at the matches of the Rams, we will immediately see that the tandem of Koku-Rooney really wants to save this season. Yes, Derby miraculously managed to avoid defeat in the last round, but the team lost in only one out of the last nine matches and scored 30 points in 15 games. And the team is in great shape. And it’s not afraid to play away. In case of success in a match against one of the leaders, it will be possible to get into the top six. Of course, it is worth risking in the match against West Bromwich. There are problems with the squad. But the Rams can win due to a team game.
On the one hand, the Rams need to risk, but they will have opportunities to achieve victories against unmotivated opponents. Derby County is at least as good as West Bromwich. There are more questions to the Throstles themselves - with such a defense, they can concede more than once. I suppose that the hosts will lose points in this game. And I suggested several reasons for this above.
Prediction for the match: Derby to win with +0.5 handicap
