Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Derby County win either half: YES — 1.57
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Both teams to score: YES — 1.76
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Derby County total goals: Over 1.5 — 2.04
The Rams have won their last five League One matches and won eight of their last nine matches. They are in a superb run of form, hence expecting them to win either half against inconsistent Wycombe shouldn’t be a stretch.
Derby County may be sound defensively but they have lacked a bit at the back in away matches and in their last two away league matches, they failed to keep a clean sheet. Hence, expecting Wycombe, who have scored five goals in three games, to score at least one goal past the Rams.
One of Derby’s strengths is their attacking line. They are solid going forward and have scored goals for fun in their recent games. In each of their last five league matches, Derby County scored at least two goals, hence there’s a chance they could repeat the same this weekend.
The Chairboys have lacked consistency in their recent matches, although they have two wins in their last three League One matches. Wycombe have won three of their last five league matches and are rather in contention to gain promotion to the Championship next season. However, they occupy the 8th position with 44 points after 28 matches.
The Rams have won their last five League One matches and won eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. Derby County bounced back to winning ways last weekend with a thumping 5-0 win over Morecambe, days after they got eliminated out of the FA Cup following a 2-0 home defeat to West Ham United. Derby are fighting to return to the Championship and are in the right path. They currently occupy the 4th position with 53 points after 28 matches.
The last time both teams met was in September and Derby County won 2-1 at home. They will look to do the league double over Wycombe this weekend but it will be a tough game.
There’s a chance Derby County could go two goals clear before the end of the first half.
It’s somewhat safe to double chance the favourites.
