West Bromwich Albion vs Derby County prediction, H2H and probable lineups — April 21, 2025
As part of the 44th round of the English Championship, a match between West Bromwich and Derby will take place. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 21. Kick-off is set for 16:00 Central European Time. I suggest a bet on the winner of this game.
Match preview
West Bromwich finally managed to break their losing streak and got back to winning ways by defeating a rival in Watford. However, they lost their last match to direct rivals Coventry, practically dashing their playoff hopes.
The team is one of the most draw-prone in the Championship, having drawn 18 times in 43 matches. The gap from sixth place is now six points, which almost extinguishes the team's hopes.
In contrast, Derby is engaged in a completely different task. The "Rams" have gathered all their strength and are trying to maintain their place in the second-tier division, but a return to League 1 seems very real.
Only two points collected in the last four matches have further complicated the task. In their last game, Derby lost a crucial match to Luton, allowing them to catch up in the table. After West Bromwich, the team will face Hull and Stoke.
Match facts
- West Bromwich has lost only 2 of their last 17 home matches.
- Derby has only one away win in their last 14 matches.
- West Bromwich scores an average of 1.2 goals per game at home, while Derby averages 1 goal per game away.
Probable lineups
- West Bromwich Albion: Griffiths, Holgate, Lisaker, Bartley, Furlong, Price, Mowatt, Fellows, Grant, Johnston, Lancashire.
- Derby County: Videll, Langas, Clarke, Phillips, Forsyth, Adams, Wilson, Harness, Armstrong, Jackson, Yates.
H2H
The last three head-to-head matches between these teams ended with victories for Derby.
Prediction
Derby is eager to survive, but the hosts have an equally important task. Considering the level of the players, I don't believe in the success of the visitors, so I suggest betting on a West Bromwich win.
