Derby vs Wolves Betting Tips

After a slow start, Derby have really picked up and have looked a very composed outfit in recent matches. Paul Clement’s side have taken 13 points from their last 5 Championship matches, having only picked up 4 from their opening 5. It has propelled them to the brink of the play-off places and they are likely to move into the top six with a win here depending on other results this weekend.

Away wins at Preston, Reading and Milton Keynes has really got their season up and running and they picked up their first maximum points at the iPro last time out with a comfortable 2-0 win over Brentford.

This won’t be easy though against a Wolves side that has won their last two matches 3-0 away at Fulham and at home to Huddersfield. They are perhaps a little fortunate to be as high as 9th in the league after some really poor performances this term and their record of 7 points from their last 3 matches has been aided by red cards to 3 opposition players.

With Derby starting to live up to their pre-season billing as title favourites and having got over their bizarre home troubles they look worth backing to win this game at 17/20. The likes of Tom Ince and Chris Martin have been banging in the goals for the Rams of late and they possess numerous options from the bench if everything doesn’t quite go to plan.

Wolves might have Benik Afobe who bagged a brace in the win over Huddersfield last time out to take his tally for the season to 5 goals but he won’t find so much space against an organised Derby side who boast the best defensive record in the league.

Therefore consider backing Derby’s revival to continue with a second successive 2-0 home win at generous odds of 15/2.
