Derby and West Ham will meet in the fourth round of the FA Cup. How will the upcoming duel end? We'll figure it out.
"Derby"
"Derby" started fighting in the tournament from the first round, and already there he had problems. Only following the results of two matches was Torquay United passed, in the next round Newport was defeated (2:1), and then Barnsley was defeated with a score of 3:0. The team plays in the First League and is currently on the fourth line in the standings, which gives the right to play in the play-off games for the opportunity to play in the Championship next season. She has 50 points scored in 27 games played. It is worth paying attention to the fact that Derby conceded 21 goals, less than only one club.
West Ham
West Ham also started the fight in the tournament from the third round, where they beat Brentford (1-0) on the road with a minimum score. Things are not going well for West Ham in the current season of the English Premier League. The Hammers are currently on the 16th line in the standings, having 18 points scored in their asset. The gap from the relegation zone is only one point. Over the 20 games they have played, they have opened the opponents' gates only 17 times, three clubs have fewer goals.

Forecast
I think that the home team will be able to surprise in the upcoming match, because they show a good game this season, and even though West Ham are playing in the Premier League, they can overcome the barrier of the fourth round, because the Hammers do not inspire with their game. I propose to bet on the victory of the "Derby" with a handicap of goals (0).
