Best bets from battle of Coral partners as Leeds host Derby

Leeds victory and over 2.5 goals

There have been over 2.5 strikes notched in two from their previous three meetings with the Rams, while Monk’s men have tasted triumph in three of their last four fixtures across all competitions, with at least three goals on the scoresheet in those trio of wins.

So, a victory for the Beeston-based boys and over 2.5 goals in the game is a nifty 19/5 to come off.

Both teams to score

With 58 Championship strikes clocked-up between them this campaign and positive goal differences for the two second tier teams, both clubs to be on target at even-money is yet more top value for this tussle.

Chris Wood to convert anytime

It was a brilliant brace from the Kiwi that helped see off the Millers in a 3-0 win, but he was hauled off before he could bag a hat-trick, so should be hungry for more heroics here.

Having already equalled his Championship tally of 13 goals from last season, and surpassed his haul in all competitions with 16 in 28 outings, Wood is a plum 13/8 price to poach anytime.

It just so happens that the hitman smashed two in two past the Rams’ rearguard last term as well. Food for thought.

Tom Ince to hit the target first for Rams

English wingman Tom Ince has been to the Rams’ rescue rather a lot recently, including last time out against West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup third round.

It is four goals for instrumental Ince in his last seven showings, in performances that have understandably led to rumours regarding Newcastle United interest in the Derby net threat.

So, take odds of 14/5 for Ince to be the first away team scorer.
