West Ham vs. Derby prediction

West Ham are on a high after defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-2 during the week. However, Derby also won midweek as they beat Portsmouth 2-0 away from home. The Rams have had mixed results, losing two and drawing the other of their Championship games so far. Nuno Espírito Santo's side really needs to build on the win over Wolves. The Hammers have home advantage again, so I expect a 3-1 win for the Hammers.
