THE PREDICTION
Derby remain with just one win in seven Championship matches so far after drawing 1-1 with bitter rivals Nottingham Forest. The Rams showed significant fight and improvement in that game and the pressure is on for them to back that up with a strong performance here. Expect the Rams to come out of the traps firing here and an early lead for the hosts would be no surprise. However, Cardiff are a tough side to beat and with three draws in their last four league games, Neil Harris’ team will be confident of securing at least another point in this match.
