Derby have the advantage of almost 2 days extra rest and recuperation, having played on Friday night while the Baggies were in action on Sunday afternoon.

In what we expect will be a tight game, we think the scheduling factor may give Derby the edge.

The Rams have conceded less than a goal per game at home in the league, and have a +8 goal difference across their 10 Championship matches at Pride Park.

The Rams have taken the most corners in 7 out of their 10 home games this season, including in their last 5 games at Pride Park.

Derby have taken 5 corners or more on 90% of those 10 games, compared to 27% for the visitors, who average around 4 per game.

Derby have scored in all 10 of their home games this season, while West Brom have score in 9 out of 11 of their away games.

Both teams scored in 8 out of 11 of WBA’s away games, whilst it is 5 out of 10 for Derby on home soil.

This tip comes from our Derby v West Brom Betting Preview:

“Johnston finally arrived at the Championship party on Sunday, with his first goals of the season to lead the Baggies to victory,

He scored 7 in 18 appearances in the second half of last season on loan from Celtic, but had struggled to replicate that form this term, having gone 17 league appearances without a goal.

Johnston is a high-volume shooter, usually working his way in from the left to try and test the keeper. With confidence now high, we expect him to cause Derby some problems on Boxing Day.”
