FootyMAD West Ham United match preview

History of the Derby County v West Ham United fixture

Derby are ready to welcome West Ham United to Pride Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, having won 16 and lost only 7 of the 30 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pride Park was within the last three years, in September 2001, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Derby County's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rams have scored 7, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

West Ham's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Hammers, and 2 goals against.

Derby find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 12 points from their 10 matches. West Ham are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 20 points from 10 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Rams at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Hammers come away with an easy victory. Away win

Sequence statistics:
Derby	Unbeaten run of 5 matches.
West Ham	7 games since last away draw.
