• West Bromwich Albion have the second-worst away record in the Championship

• Derby County have won their last four Championship meetings with the Baggies

• Recommended bet: Derby County to win

Derby County picked up their second successive win in midweek when they defeated Charlton, and they will be looking to extend that run against an out-of-sorts West Brom side who have major issues on their travels.

The Baggies suffered another heavy defeat on Tuesday, losing 5-0 at home to Norwich City, and a trip to Pride Park, where they have a poor recent record, could bring them more pain.

Team news

Carlton Morris and Max Johnston remain sidelined for Derby, while Dion Sanderson is a doubt after missing out against Charlton in midweek.

January signing Oscar Fraulo came off the bench for the third game on the spin at Charlton and will be hoping to make his first start for the club.

Alex Mowatt and Jayson Molumby returned from injury to play a part in West Brom’s heavy defeat to Norwich and may be back in the starting line-up, but Tammer Bany is still sidelined.

Ousmane Diakite missed a second game due to personal reasons and may be absent again.

The stats

Derby have won three of their last four Championship fixtures.

West Brom are on a 10-game losing streak away from home in the Championship.

The Baggies have not won a competitive game at Pride Park since 2003.

The Rams have only lost three of their last 11 home league games.

Prediction

Albion were put to the sword by a ruthless Norwich side in midweek, with the Canaries racking up five goals from just nine shots to thrash the struggling Baggies. 

The margin of defeat may have been undeserved, but that fact will do little to raise morale at a club that find themselves just three points above the Championship relegation zone.

That defeat was Eric Ramsay’s second match in charge, and he is tasked with turning around the fortunes of a club that have now lost eight of their last 10 league games.

It will also be his first away game in charge of a club with the second-worst travelling record in the division.

West Brom have picked up just nine points from 14 games and have lost their last 10 away in the league, while they have not won at Pride Park since 2003, losing six of their eight trips there since.

The Rams won their second consecutive game in midweek and will be full of confidence on Friday, opening the door for a fifth successive Championship win over West Brom.
