Derby vs West Brom Prediction 9 September 2026
🔊 Derby County have had a difficult start to the season, winning just once in five matches and already finding themselves close to the danger zone. West Bromwich Albion, by contrast, have picked up good momentum early in the campaign and established themselves in the upper part of the table. The key question going into this match is whether the home side's defence can contain the visitors' attack - West Brom have been scoring consistently and are among the promotion contenders.
Head-to-Head
📊 Derby County and West Bromwich Albion have met 26 times in official fixtures. The hosts have won 14 of those, the visitors 5, with 7 draws. Derby County also have the edge in goals scored: 40 to their opponents' 27. The matches average 2.58 goals per game.
Head-to-head statistics Derby - West Brom
Derby Team Overview
Derby County have made a poor start to the season: three defeats, one win and one draw in their last five matches. Over that run they have been conceding well above a goal per game - their average over the last ten matches stands at 1.8 goals conceded per game. The defence is the weak link, with regular errors leaving the club under pressure even against mid-table opposition.
Their league position means the team have to find a balance between playing cautiously for points and being more adventurous at the back.

West Bromwich Albion Team Overview
West Brom have made a decent start: three wins, one draw and just one defeat in their last five matches shows good momentum. Their scoring rate is high - averaging 1.8 goals per match over their last ten games - with a reasonably solid defence conceding 1.2 per game. Away from home, the visitors tend to play open matches: the over 2.5 trend comes up regularly, and their attack rarely goes quiet even on the road.
The need to stay in the automatic promotion places is motivation enough to keep playing an aggressive style.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Taking into account both teams' form and the key statistics, this match looks set up for a high-scoring game. Derby County are shaky defensively and regularly concede more than one goal per match, and their attempts to find a balance between caution and attack have yet to produce consistent results. West Bromwich Albion show a dynamic attacking game away from home: Total Goals - Over 2.5 has landed in each of their last five away matches, and the team tend to both score and concede in almost every game. Both sides also have motivation - the hosts need points near the danger zone, while the visitors are keeping up a strong pace in the push for promotion. The main prediction is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
