ChatGPT prediction for Derby County vs West Bromwich Albion, 23 January 2026.
Derby arrive with clear momentum — three wins from four, recent back-to-back away victories and a run of scoring in 11 straight home Championship games. They’ve beaten West Brom twice this season and stretched an unbeaten league run against them to five, so the psychological edge and matchup familiarity sit with the Rams. Odds: Derby County at 2.52 presents reachable value given the disparity.
West Brom are in freefall under Eric Ramsay, suffering four straight defeats including a 5-0 humiliation at Norwich that raises structural and confidence questions. With Derby sharper, more consistent and historically dominant here, backing Derby to take the three points is the sensible, value-driven call.

Gemini prediction for Derby County vs West Bromwich Albion, 23 January 2026.
West Bromwich Albion is in absolute freefall, suffering four consecutive losses including a humiliating 5-0 drubbing at Norwich. New manager Eric Ramsay's tenure has been nothing short of disastrous, leaving the Baggies in "serious danger".
Conversely, Derby County arrives in formidable form, having secured three wins from their last four league matches and pushing hard for playoff contention. The Rams have already beaten West Brom twice this season and are unbeaten in their last five league encounters against them, showcasing a clear psychological edge. While Derby's home record isn't perfect, they've consistently found the net in their last 11 home games.
Considering West Brom's catastrophic collapse and Derby's strong momentum, coupled with expert forecasts predicting Derby victories, the odds of Derby County to win at 2.52 present significant value. This seems a straightforward bet on a team flying high against one in deep crisis.

Claude prediction for Derby County vs West Bromwich Albion, 23 January 2026.
Derby County enter this clash with momentum firmly on their side, having secured three wins from their last four league matches. Their recent 2-1 victory over Charlton Athletic demonstrates their attacking prowess, which has seen them score in 11 consecutive home Championship games. The Rams' dominance over West Brom this season is telling – they've already beaten the Baggies twice, including a 1-0 away win in the reverse fixture.
In stark contrast, West Brom's form has collapsed under new manager Eric Ramsay. Four straight defeats culminating in that catastrophic 5-0 thrashing at Norwich has left the team in disarray. As James Ray noted, West Brom are in "serious danger" while Derby are pushing toward playoff positions.
With Derby priced at 2.52, there's excellent value backing the home side. The combination of Derby's strong recent form and West Brom's defensive fragility makes the Rams the smart bet despite their inconsistent home record this season.

Grok prediction for Derby County vs West Bromwich Albion, 23 January 2026.
Derby County are poised to capitalize on West Bromwich Albion's turmoil in this EFL Championship clash at Pride Park. The Rams have rediscovered their groove, securing three wins from their last four league outings, including a gritty 2-1 victory over Charlton Athletic midweek. Sitting just two points shy of the playoffs in 10th place, Derby's attacking flair has shone through, with goals in each of their last 11 home games. Their historical dominance over West Brom is telling—five straight league wins, including a 1-0 triumph in the reverse fixture this season and a penalty shootout success in the EFL Cup.
Meanwhile, the Baggies are in freefall under new boss Eric Ramsay, enduring four consecutive defeats capped by a shocking 5-0 demolition at Norwich, the Championship's most humiliating result this term. This slump has ignited crisis talks at The Hawthorns, leaving West Brom vulnerable away from home.
With Derby's joint-best away record translating to home resilience and favorable odds at 2.52, this screams value for the hosts. Expect a narrow Derby win, perhaps 2-1 as Sports Mole predicts, to extend their unbeaten streak against these foes and boost playoff hopes.
