Wednesday’s bet of the day: Chesterfield vs Derby County, 7.30pm 

Derby make the short trip to Chesterfield this evening looking to ramp up their preparations for the Championship season that starts on August 9.

Paul Warne’s team secured automatic promotion from League One last season and are 14/1 shots to be promoted to the Premier League – but also 5/1 third favourites in the relegation betting.

Chesterfield, meanwhile, are looking forward to life back in the Football League after a six-year absence. The Spireites won the National League by 12 points last season under Paul Cook.

Last Friday, Derby beat Stockport County in a pre-season friendly played in Spain and we’re backing them to make the two-division gap between the sides to tell here.

What is the bet of the day?

The bet of the day is a single, double, treble or accumulator that we believe has the best chance of returning a profit.

It will have been exhaustively researched and we’ll explain why we think it offers value for money.

How do we select our bet of the day?

There are thousands of football matches each week and hundreds of betting markets, but we assess all the fixtures to find the best-value bets.

We look at the teams’ statistics, current form, league position and head-to-head stats to gauge the bet’s potential.

What do we look for in our bet of the day?

Value. First and foremost, we want you to be placing a bet that represents good value. 

We’re looking for outcomes that don’t just have a good chance of coming in, they should also be at shorter odds.

What price do we try to make our bet of the day?

There’s no specific price for the bet of the day, but we try to make sure it’s usually at evens or above.

At the very least, you will then double your money if you take our bet of the day and it wins.

Remember, you should only bet what you can afford and no bet is guaranteed to be a winner.
