Derby have scored in 3 of last 5, and West Ham have conceded in 4 of last 5 away games, so BTTS is plausible despite Derby's poor attack.
Match Analysis
West Ham United U21 arrive in excellent form and are heavily favored against a Derby County U21 side that has struggled badly, especially at home. Derby have failed to score in all home matches this season and have the league's worst defensive record. West Ham's attack is among the best in the division, and their recent run of wins and high goal output suggests they should control this fixture. Expect West Ham to dominate, likely scoring multiple goals, with Derby's only hope coming from set pieces or a rare defensive lapse.
