Prediction: Derby County wins or draw
Our prediction for the Derby County v West Bromwich Albion Championship match is:Derby County wins or draw.
West Brom's recent away form is so poor, that we had to double check the facts that they had lost ten league games away from home in a row, and not only that, they have not won any of their last four home or away in the league and were beaten 5-0 at home by Norwich in midweek. Derby's home form isn't that great, they've generally been better away from home, but they are the team to back here given West Brom's form.

The current Championship table shows that Derby have the edge in terms of league form, with the Rams occupying 10th spot in the table, one of four teams on 41 points. West Brom's predicament is more alarming with the Throstles now 19th in the table with 31 points, three clear of the relegation spots, but with many teams below them having at least one game in hand.
County come into this game in relatively good form in the league with three wins in their last four games. They were beaten at home 2-1 by Wrexham and 3-1 in the FA Cup by Premier League Leeds Utd, but followed that with two fine away wins, a 1-0 win at Preston at the weekend and a 2-1 win at Charlton on Tuesday night.
