Derby vs West Ham Prediction & Pick

Although West Ham is the clear favorite, Derby's recent surge can't be ignored. The Rams have won seven of their last eight outings, shutting out opponents in five of those contests. Meanwhile, it's looking more likely that West Ham will be relegated from the Premier League, highlighted by a 2-3-5 record over its last 10 matches.

In the end, I see Derby giving West Ham more than the latter bargained for. That's not to say that the Rams will pull off an upset, but I wouldn't be shocked if they only lose by a goal or force a draw. The Irons are simply too hard to trust lately, so don't expect a decisive victory.

Final Score Prediction: Derby: 1 | Liverpool: 1

Derby vs West Ham Best Bet

Projected Derby to keep things close, I like the Rams at +1 on the spread. If West Ham does win, I don't see the Irons doing it by more than a goal. All of the momenta is on Derby's side — especially with the hometown support — and that's crucial in a match that'll likely come down to which side makes the first mistake.

Back Derby covering the spread as the best bet.

Bet: Derby +1 (-110)
