On Jan 30th, Derby County will play host to West Ham United in a meeting of these two FA Cup teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 3 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Derby County is fresh off their 2-1 win against Port Vale. Funso Ojo scored the first goal for Port Vale in the 56th minute, then David McGoldrick tied it up for Derby County in the 87th minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 89th minute on a goal by Nathaniel Mendez-Laing to cap off a wild match. Derby County looks to continue their winning ways, having won 6 of their last 10, while in their last match, West Ham United recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Everton. Jarrod Bowen struck first for West Ham United in the 34th minute, then Jarrod Bowen added another in the 41st minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Everton couldn’t manage to score, and West Ham United took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
West Ham United’s top weapon lately has been Jarrod Bowen, who has two goals in the last 5 matches. Tom Barkhuizen has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, hes scored four goals for Derby County.
