  • derby 1 up

  • Emmanuel Latte Lath TSA +187

  • yes i like the away win here. i think boro will be too strong for Derby, home advantage for first game of the season makes it a bit tighet but a 1-3 away win is my prediction 2.10 is a bet to be taken

  • Communication looks non existent at Derby and an organised Boro should give them a beating. 1-2 away win
