West Bromwich

Derby County will look to build on their 2–1 win over Charlton, but they face this match without defender Matt Clarke, who is suspended, while both Johnston and Morris remain sidelined. Anyhow, we predict a 2-1 home win as WBA struggled in their last league match. Despite recent inconsistency, The Rams have taken 1.50 points per game overall, with their attack reliable—0 ...
