Derby vs West Ham United Predictions
- Derby are on a run of six successive wins
- West Ham have lost four of their last seven away fixtures
- Derby have lost just one of their last six home FA Cup ties
Will Derby spring a shock?
There’s a reason this match has been selected for TV coverage, and that’s because the broadcasters are anticipating an FA Cup upset after six successive Derby wins.Paul Warne’s side have been in sparkling form of late, motoring into fourth place in League One, while they are unbeaten in their last fourteen outings.
Indeed, the last time they lost was on penalties at Anfield against Liverpool in the League Cup, and they have come behind to win two of their last three outings.
West Ham up against it?
David Moyes will be hoping to avoid that FA Cup upset, but his side’s form isn’t great, winning just two of their last seven away matches, a run that contains four defeats.The Hammers needed extra-time to beat Non League Kidderminster away from home at this stage of the competition last season, while winning just three of their last 10 away ties in normal time.
On top of that, the London outfit have managed merely two victories in six games since the World Cup.
I predict that Derby will win this game, with 2-1 my correct score prediction.
