Derby v Leeds

The first-leg of the Championship Play-Offs take place later today, and Derby are an astonishing 12/5 to strike first blood!

They come into this with doubts over both Martyn Waghorn and Duane Holmes, but notwithstanding, it's hard to see them being a 12/5 shot given they won 13 of their 23 home games this season, conceding just 20 goals in the process. Over the whole season they ended up just nine points behind Leeds (74 vs 83) and eight goals worse off (+15 v +23).

Finishing the season in great form as well - just one defeat in 12 matches - bodes well, and Millwall are the only side to beat them at Pride Park since November.

Leeds come here having lost at Ipswich on the final day of the season, and that meant they had lost five of their final eight league matches. Patrick Bamford will miss this one as he serves the second of a two match suspension.

We're siding with Derby here at the odds, and we'll chuck a small bet on Harry Wilson into the mix as well. The Derby winger - on-loan from Liverpool - has proved a tremendous part of the side this year, scoring 17 goals in just 46 appearances, and netted five in his last eight in the run-in. He's a 7/2 shot to score at anytime in this one.
