THE PREDICTION
Bristol City’s strong recent home form continued in midweek, as they beat Huddersfield 2-1. However, the Robins are back on the road this weekend as they face Derby at Pride Park. Dean Holden’s side have lost their last four Championship matches away from home and Derby will sense a big opportunity here to extend the current two-point gap between them and the bottom three. Wayne Rooney’s men have won their last two games by a single goal and a similarly close encounter is expected here. Under 2.5 goals is expected regardless of the result, but with home advantage in their favour the Rams may just about manage to edge this one.
