West Ham United Form Guide
Last time out, West Ham United ran out impressive 4-2 winners against an in-form Wolves side on Tuesday night following a brace from Divine Mukasa and a goal each from Jarrod Bowen from the spot and a goal from Konstantinos Mavropanos.
The Hammers have now risen to 12th in the table following five points from their opening five league games in the Championship. However, their 4-2 win on Tuesday now means their tally of eight league goals makes them the second-highest scorers in the league, and there is a sense there is plenty more where that came from in the coming weeks and months.
Divine Mukasa, who signed on loan from Manchester City, was phenomenal midweek against Wolves and he will certainly be a man to keep an eye on again come the weekend.
Derby County Form Guide
Derby County travelled to Fratton Park on Tuesday night to face Portsmouth and put on a clinical display, running out 0-2 winners through a goal from Sammie Szmodics and a goal off the bench from Lars-Jørgen Salvesen, remarkably scoring both goals from just six shots.
The Rams are currently sitting in 14th position following four points from their first four league games. John Eustace has been managing the club since February 2025, and last season they finished eighth in the Championship, only missing out on the playoffs by four points.
There is plenty of quality amongst their ranks, but special attention should be put on Sammie Szmodics, who is a proven prolific quantity at this level, and David Ozoh signing permanently from Crystal Palace on Tuesday, on the back of two loan spells at the club, will be a huge boost to the club.

West Ham United Win & Over 2.5 Goals – 8/13
The Hammers are strong favourites for this Tuesday Night fixture at 1/3, and given their strong showing midweek against Wolves , it looks like we could be at the start of a serious run of form.
Given West Ham United have shown themselves to be prolific scorers and Derby County were efficient midweek, I can see there being a few goals in this one again, with the home side ultimately coming out on top.
