West Ham United are out to make it two wins on the bounce in the Championship when they welcome Derby County to the London Stadium on matchday five. The home team have failed to keep clean sheets in their last four league games, and with Derby finding the net in each of their last four Championship matches in this fixture, our prediction is for both teams to score.
Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo, whose job appeared to be hanging by a thread, has suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after his side's convincing performance last time out against Wolves on Tuesday.
A brace from Divine Mukasa and goals from Jarrod Bowen and Konstantinos Mavropanos saw the team secure a 4-2 victory at the London Stadium. This has placed them in 12th place in the league standings on five points.
Before this, the Hammers had failed to win any of their opening three games.
Derby County are sitting in 16th place on four points and are one point ahead of the relegation zone.
Following a sloppy display in which John Eustace's men found themselves navigating three games without a win (D1, L2), they managed to arrest that slide on Tuesday.
Portsmouth were the unfortunate team to find themselves on the receiving end of the Rams' response. Goals from Sammie Szmodics and Lars-Jorgen Salvesen saw them grind out a 2-0 victory at Fratton Park.

Our West Ham vs Derby County Prediction
West Ham United are high in spirits and are out to make it two straight wins in the second tier for the first time in 14 years. However, they should be wary of the threat posed by their opponents, having won just one of their last five meetings. Both teams scored in four of those outings.
Derby County, meanwhile, have scored in three of their last four games and, with West Ham's defensive frailties, conceding in each of their last four matches, they should fancy their chances of getting on the scoreboard. Our West Ham United vs Derby County prediction: BTTS.
