Looking to make it three consecutive Championship victories on Friday night, Derby will welcome West Brom to Pride Park.
Claiming what was a much-welcomed boost over the past week, the Rams have reignited their play-off dreams and they will certainly be smelling a golden opportunity to make a top-six statement this weekend.
At the heart of what has become a Championship crisis, the Baggies have come under a huge amount of scrutiny this season and they are suddenly in the midst of a relegation scrap.
Ahead of Friday’s showdown from Pride Park, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Derby vs West Brom Bet Builder Tips.
Derby looking to make a play-off statement
Only just clinging onto their Championship status last season, Derby will simply hoping for smoother sailing this time around.
However, rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across England’s second-tier this year, John Eustace’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high and they will be confident of making another public statement on home soil.
Despite showing some minor cause for concern on either side of opening the New Year, Derby have claimed a much-welcomed boost over the past week.
Last seen clinching a 2-1 victory away at Charlton, the former Birmingham boss has seen his play-off contenders clinch consecutive Championship victories for the first time since returning from November’s international break.
It should also be highlighted, Derby secured a 1-0 win when they travelled to the Midlands for their reverse Championship showdown against West Brom back on September 13th.

Pressure already mounting on Ramsay
While new boss Eric Ramsay might have only arrived at the Hawthorns a fortnight ago, the former Minnesota manager already has a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders.
Last seen putting in a woeful display as they slumped to a 5-0 drumming at home against Norwich, Friday’s guests have lost each of their previous four straight second-tier showdowns by an aggregate score of 11-3.
Getting Ramsay’s tenure underway with an action-packed 3-2 loss against Middlesbrough, West Brom are at the heart of a relegation scrap.
Opening Friday’s trip to Pride Park holding just a three-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, the Baggies have also gained a reputation for their glaring issues on the road.
In fact, West Brom have remarkably lost all of their previous 10 straight Championship matchups away from the Hawthorns – a record-breaking rut that stems all the way back to the start of October.

West Brom’s defensive crisis
Shipping 11 goals on their four-match Championship losing rut, it is no surprise that West Brom have continued to show a string of glaring defensive issues this season.
Getting the New Year underway with a 2-1 loss away at Leicester, Friday’s guests have recorded just a sole Championship clean sheet since way back on November 1st.
Likewise, shipping 43 strikes in their 28 Championship appearances this season, the Baggies hold the second-worst defensive tally in the division.
However, despite Derby’s recent boost over the past week, Eustace’s camp are still searching for some of their own stability at the back.
Watching their FA Cup adventure come to an end on January 11th as they eventually fell to a 3-1 loss against Premier League outfit Leeds, the Rams have registered just a sole clean sheet from any of their last eight straight showdowns at Pride Park.
