Wolves

Derby County

Wolves are in really poor form having lost their last 3 matches and they are 7 without a win in the Championship. Their 3-0 defeat at an equally out-of-form Brentford in midweek was a real low-point of the Kenny Jackett reign and there might be one or two questions about his future with the club currently languishing in 15th place. The team have come in for some criticism from fans in recent weeks and this is a tough game to go looking for a change in fortunes.

Derby appear to have turned a corner after their long winless run resulted in the sacking of Paul Clement. New boss Darren Wassall has overseen a 3-1 win at Brentford and unconvincing 1-0 win over Blackburn in midweek having lost his first game against MK Dons. Another win here would leave them just 2 points off the automatic promotion places and would put the pressure on the other sides at the top who play later on.

Reason for Betting Tips

Wolves have seen their best two attacking players leave this season and Derby have much the stronger squad. Those two wins were badly needed and will have given them some of the confidence back that they demonstrated before Christmas when they looked like a very strong Championship side and one that was destined for the top flight. With Wolves’ season heading to a disappointing end, they could well get the better of this game and you can back Derby to win at 23/20.
