THE PREDICTION
Managerless Derby sit at the foot of the Championship table on only six points and their slump shows no signs of ending soon after a 1-0 defeat away at Bristol City over the weekend. The Rams face another difficult away trip here against Middlesbrough, who were beaten for the first time since the opening day at the weekend after a 0-1 loss to high flying Norwich. Neil Warnock’s side will be determined to bounce back here and considering their usual defensive strength combined with Derby’s lack of cutting edge infront of goal, the hosts should keep a clean sheet here on their to securing three points.
