Betting suggestion:

Looking at the formations, we think that Birmingham City has a more organized team and players of higher quality compared to the opponent. On the other hand, Derby County has presented many difficulties in their game model and in this game they should not be strong enough to win the three points. In this way, we believe that Birmingham City will win, but we will still protect ourselves in a possible draw.

For this game mister Wayne Rooney cannot count on Martyn Waghorn, punished, besides Tom Lawrence and Curtis Davies, these injured.
