Derby v Torquay
Tuesday 15 November
19:45 GMT kick-off

It's been an interesting couple of cup games for Derby County with two hugely contrasting draws at Torquay and Liverpool, with this replay coming in the FA Cup against the Devon side.

National League side Torquay came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 in their first round tie with the 10-man Rams to force this replay, while Paul Warne's side have since drawn 0-0 at Anfield and only exited the EFL Cup on penalties.

Gary Johnson's side are struggling down in 23rd in the National League with no sign of them being able to end their decade away from the Football League this season.

Torquay also arrive on the back of a 5-1 loss against Chesterfield while hosts Derby beat MK Dons 3-1 so are unbeaten in 90 minutes in their last six.

As long as Derby keep 11 men on the field then they'll win this comfortably with Warne just making a few changes - as young Will Osula should get the chance to start again after scoring both goals against Torquay in the first tie.

The Denmark Under-19 international should have too much quality again for The Gulls so on home turf he's well worth backing to find the net again at 10/11.

Warne will want another quick start but with Derby finishing the job off this time around, so expect a fast start and a couple of goals coming in the first half.

There's been two first-half goals in three of Derby's last six home games, with another seeing one goal and a missed penalty, so it's nothing new to see first-half goals.

It's slight odds-on for two more first-half goals and that's a nice final part of our Bet Builder treble for what is a tricky betting heat with a Derby win seen as a given.
