3/1 To Win
Derby County are to return to Pride Park Stadium for their first midweek home fixture of the Sky Bet Championship season when they face Swansea City in the Sky Bet Championship on Wednesday evening (8pm kick-off).
The Rams enter the fixture unbeaten in three games in the league.
They claimed their first away win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Coventry City earlier this month and have since picked up points in consecutive 1-1 draws with Plymouth Argyle at Pride Park Stadium and Preston North End on the road either side of the international break.
Paul Warne’s side will be looking to build on the foundations of recent matches, losing just once in eight, with back-to-back home games providing the chance to pick up points with both Swansea on Wednesday and Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday coming to Pride Park in the space of a week.
The Swans come into Wednesday's clash sitting mid-table in the Championship after a dramatic 4-3 home loss against Leeds United on Sunday.
