THE PREDICTION

A hard fought 0-1 victory for Brentford away at Blackburn this past Friday night saw them keep themselves within reach of Watford and Swansea directly above them in second and third place respectively. With three wins in their last four Championship games, it is vital that the Bees keep the pressure on by continuing to rack up wins including here away at Derby. The Rams are nervously looking over their shoulder having not won in their last five Championship matches. Brentford represent extremely difficult opposition for Wayne Rooney’s side and it is expected that the strength of the visitors’ frontline will overwhelm the Rams in this match and lead Brentford to another important three points.
