The home team have lost only one of their most recent six coming into today’s Derby County vs Leeds United FC betting tips. The Rams have lost only six of their thirty-two Championship fixtures so far in 2017/18 and it’s their performances at Pride Park that have been the real driving force behind their positive campaign. Derby County are now unbeaten in seven straight games on their own patch. Their 0-2 loss at Sheffield Wednesday last time out was extremely disappointing, however.

Leeds United FC are in the midst of their worst run of the season so far and really their dip in form couldn’t have come at a worse time. The Whites had been right in the mix nearer the top end of the table until the turn of the New Year, but since December 30^th they haven’t even won once. Should they fail to win again in mid-week, their winless sequence will stretch to a miserable ten matches. Paul Heckingbottom has a really tough job on his hands to restore some confidence to his squad. Read our English football betting guide for this exciting contest in the next section.

Derby County vs Leeds United FC Prediction and Betting Advice

Having gone unbeaten at Pride Park for seven matches, the home team come into today’s Derby County vs Leeds United FC bets as clear and obvious favourites to collect all three points. The Rams defeat at Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend was their first loss in six and the anguish of dropping points at Hillsborough should see their players fired up for their next game.

Gary Rowett’s men have only lost two of their last fifteen matches in all competitions on home soil, making them one of the Championship’s most formidable outfits on their own patch. The visiting Whites have had to endure a miserable time of late and it’s hard to see where their next positive result is going to come from.

Alongside their nine-match winless streak, Paul Heckingbottom has watched his team come undone in four of their last five away contests. United have lost nine of their last fourteen games on the road in total since September 2016. Today’s Championship football odds for a home victory at William Hill are incredibly generous, so we recommend you get some money down on them without delay.

The second of today’s free expert Derby County vs Leeds United FC predictions is really centred on the away team’s goal statistics. In four of Utd’s last five matches, there were over 2.5 goals scored. They started that sequence with a 3-4 loss at Millwall, then they drew 0-0 at Hull before being trounced 1-4 at home to Cardiff.

They followed that up with another defeat, this time losing 2-1 at Sheffield United before they drew 2-2 at home to Bristol City on Sunday. In total, there has been forty-three goals scored in Leeds’ away fixtures in 2017/18, which works out at an average of 2.6 per ninety minutes played.

When the teams met at Elland Road earlier in the campaign, the Rams left Yorkshire will all three points following a hard-earned 2-1 win. A repeat of that score line would see our second forecast come in. The fact that the Whites have only kept one clean sheet in seven indicates that their hosts should have plenty of chances to find the net on Wednesday. You can back the over 2.5 goal option using the brilliantly priced odds we found at Betfred.
