Derby vs West Brom – Betting Analysis
With only two points separating them from the top six at this point, Bruce’s club is anticipated to contend for the playoffs this season despite moving up to sixth place in the table as a result of the outcome.
Derby has lost only one of their past seven games in all competitions against West Brom, and they were undefeated against
the Baggies in the Championship last year, drawing 0-0 at The Hawthorns before winning 1-0 at Pride Park. In the opening round of the competition against Mansfield,
Derby manager Rosenior fielded a rather strong team, and it’s likely that several senior players will play again this time.
But there will be changes from the weekend, and Louie Sibley, Liam Thompson, Korey Smith, and Jake Rooney are probably going to get a chance to show what they can do.
Lewis Dobbin, who wore the number 10 against Fleetwood on Saturday, is predicted to be in the starting lineup once more, with Craig Forsyth perhaps keeping his place at left-back.
Daryl Dike will be out from West Brom owing to a thigh issue once more, but the Baggies are otherwise in good shape going into the match against their League One rivals.
The team that started against Hull in the Championship will see a number of changes under head coach Bruce, with Matt Phillips, Callum Robinson, and Taylor Gardner-Hickman among those anticipated to start.
Along with Jake Livermore, Reyes Cleary, and Adam Reach, there should be room in the starting lineup for Alex Palmer in goal.
Although both managers will make adjustments from their teams’ weekend league games, both teams will still put on a show of high caliber play.
Although West Brom and Derby are both capable of competing, we think the away team will have just enough to win on Tuesday.
