On Wednesday night, Promotion-chasing Brentford host struggling Derby County in the Championship, as the Bees look to strengthen their position in the league’s top-six.
Brentford are on a good recent run of form heading into this clash and currently sit sixth-place in the table. Thomas Frank’s team are just four points off the top of the table but have several teams breathing down their necks for a place in the top-six.
A 2-2 home draw with Blackburn Rovers last time out means that the home side are unbeaten in their last nine Championship games.
However, five of those unbeaten games have finished in draws, which they will need to turn into wins if they are to maintain a challenge for automatic promotion spots this season.
One major positive for the Bees this season has been the goalscoring form of forward Ivan Toney, who has scored 14 goals in 16 league appearances. He is proving a shrewd replacement for the departed Ollie Watkins.
Frank’s team are unbeaten in six league matches on home soil, although four of those games have finished in draws.
Derby County have experienced a difficult Championship campaign this season. The Rams are 23rd place in the English second-tier table.
Their poor early-season form led to the dismissal of head coach Phillip Cocu. England’s record goalscorer Wayne Rooney is currently interim boss.
The Rams form has picked up of late despite their lowly league position, as the team from the Midlands are now three games unbeaten in the second tier. A 1-0 win at Millwall last time out also ended an 11-game winless league run in the second tier.
The victory last time out ended a five-game winless run away from home in the Championship for County.
Forebet predicts that Brentford will end Derby’s recent unbeaten run by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
