The Bees will be hopeful of getting their away form back on track at 19th-placed Derby on Tuesday night. Saturday’s reverse at Newcastle made it back-to-back defeats on the road for the visitors, but most fans would have taken 18 points and ninth place at this stage of the season.
Steve McClaren marked his first game back in charge by guiding Derby to their first home win of the season against Leeds on Saturday, but the hosts have been really struggling for goals at Pride Park, with just two scored in the league all season.
With Bees in the main fairly solid at the back, it might pay to back a tight encounter, with under 2.5 goals looking a very solid 9/10 chance and under 1.5 13/5. These two drew 1-1 in this fixture two season ago and that looks a decent bet again at 6/1, with any score draw at 37/10 and a stalemate at both HT and FT 4/1. Scott Hogan remains in blistering form and can be backed at 23/4 to open the scoring and 43/20 to net at any time.
Prediction: 1-1 6/1
Bet of the night: Hogan to score 43/20
