Football Bet of the Day: Rams to run over Wigan

Phillip Cocu knows how many points are on offer at Pride Park tonight

"Wigan are W2-D6-L21 on the road since Paul Cook took charge at the start of last season"

Back Derby @ 2.1211/10 to beat Wigan

Tobias Gourlay's backing an odds-against home favourite to take all three points in one of tonight's five Championship games

Derby v Wigan
Wednesday 19:45

In the East Midlands yesterday, Mansfield and Salford City went goalless through the first 45 minutes, before the visitors struck twice after break. A 77th-minute consolation for the hosts then got us to Over 2.5 Goals.

We're staying in the East Midlands today. In the Championship tonight, Derby County welcome Wigan Athletic to Pride Park and we like the odds-against price on the hosts taking all three points.

The visitors have a woeful away record. This term, they've taken one point from a possible 18, which means they are now W2-D6-L21 on the road since Paul Cook took charge at the start of last season. The Latics might have won their last three home games, but there is nothing to show their away results are trending upwards.

Derby beat Wigan home and away last term. Phillip Cocu's men haven't made a great start to the current campaign, but they have won each of their last two at Pride Park. The Rams were soundly beaten at Charlton last time out, but this is their chance to bounce straight back. At 2.1211/10 we're happy to back them to do exactly that.
