Derby County are in mixed form: 1 won, 3 drawn and 1 lost from their last 5, 6 points from a possible 15. They have scored 7 and conceded 5 in that run. Their last game was a 1–2 defeat away at Leicester City.

Middlesbrough are in decent form: 2 won, 1 drawn and 2 lost from their last 5, 7 points from a possible 15. They have scored 5 and conceded 5 in that run. Their last game was a 0–1 defeat at home to Hull City.

The best prices across 3 UK bookmakers are 2.90 for Derby, 3.25 for the draw and 2.50 for Middlesbrough. The bookmakers make Middlesbrough favourites, at about 38% once the margin is taken out.

Our prediction: Middlesbrough to win, with a 41% chance. The market puts it at 39% and our match model at 44%, and blending those with recent form gives 41%. The best price, 2.50 at bet365, is longer than our fair price of 2.45, so there is value in it. The pick lost.
