Derby - West Bromwich: Prediction, facts, betting tips and H2H - September 9, 2026
In the sixth round of the English Championship, we will see a meeting between Derby and West Bromwich. The match will take place on Wednesday, September 9, kicking off at 20:45 CET, and I have a betting tip for it.
Derby - West Bromwich: Match preview
Derby began the new season with a match against Lincoln in the first round of the English League Cup, where they suffered a 1-2 defeat. The team was left without a trophy right at the start of the campaign. Their results in the Championship have also been far from impressive. After five rounds, Derby have won just one match. They have also lost three games and drawn once. Last season, Derby came close to challenging for promotion to the Premier League, but with such a start to the campaign, it will be more difficult to achieve that this time around.
West Bromwich collected 51 points from 46 rounds last season and finished 21st in the Championship, just four points clear of a team in the relegation zone. The Baggies retained their Championship status and have made a decent start to the new season. West Bromwich have won three matches, drawn one and suffered one defeat. With 10 points, the team currently sits fifth in the table. It is a very good step forward after last season, and if they continue to produce similar results, their chances of earning promotion to the Premier League will be good.
Match facts and H2H

Prediction
A very intriguing match awaits us between these two teams. Derby are not in the best of form, but they will be playing at home. However, they have also struggled to pick up points on their own turf, so I suggest betting on West Bromwich to avoid defeat. The odds for this outcome are 1.41.
