15/4 Derby vs West Ham Bet Builder Tips, Prediction
Derby County will host West Ham on Saturday in the FA Cup fourth round at Pride Park on Monday night. The Rams will try to knock off a Premier League side to reach the fifth round of the oldest domestic cup competition.
The Rams will play West Ham at the perfect time. The Hammers are in a poor state in the Premier League and are battling relegation. Manager David Moyes is on the hot seat and could sacrifice the FA Cup to focus on the Premier League relegation battle.
West Ham are also still in the UEFA Europa Conference League tournament, which some football fans may forget since the competition’s group stage ended in early November. The east London club has a few irons in the fire and the FA Cup could be an unwanted distraction. It could lead to a major ‘cupset’ as League One Derby County seek a seventh straight win in all competitions.
Sportsbooks’ best betting odds on Derby County winning at full-time are 7/2. West Ham are at odds of 3/4 to win, while a draw is at the best betting odds of 14/5. Let’s explore some ideas for a bet builder for the FA Cup fixture.
