Football – England – Championship Betting Tips

Continuing with the Championship, West Brom will be desperate to bounce back with all three points when they entertain Derby County as the betting tips continue on Wednesday night.

West Brom’s recent impressive seven-match unbeaten sequence came to an end on Saturday when they were handed a 1-0 defeat away at Wigan Athletic, and they now return to The Hawthorns for this west versus east midlands clash with Derby County.

West Brom had previously registered wins over Stoke City, Bristol City, Millwall, Preston North End and Reading, while their record at The Hawthorns reads a solid looking  5-0-1  20/7 and The Baggies have won their last five on the trot at home. Forwards Gayle (8 goals) and Rodriguez (7 goals) are the main threats up front for West Brom.

Derby County maintained their challenge for a play-off place on the weekend when they secured a valuable three points with a 2-1 home win over Sheffield United which means that Frank Lampard’s side have lost just once in their last six matches overall in the Championship.

Recent wins over Brentford and Sheffield United have kept The Rams in the frame for another top six finish, but both of these wins were registered at their Pride Park ground, and it’s just two league wins from their last seven matches.

Derby have also been unconvincing away from home so far this season too as their record of  2-1-3  6/7 indicates, and with just one win from their last five on the road (which was at second from bottom club, Hull City), I fancy Lampard’s team will do well to get a point out of West Brom on Wednesday night.

My betting tips fancy a home win for The Baggies here.

Pick: West Brom to win @ 2.04 bet365 (odds taken at 02:58 GMT, 23 Oct 2018)
