Bristol City vs Derby Prediction & Betting tips
Last season, Derby County (10th) finished one point higher than Bristol City (12th). After eleven rounds of play, Bristol has fourteen points more than Derby. A duel between the bottom of the league and number five of the Championship!
Bristol City:
Before the national teams made their appearance last week, Bristol City had just said goodbye to a string of mediocre results. In October, The Robins played five consecutive games without winning. Only the duels against Barnsley (2-2) and Swansea City (1-1) yielded points. After this series, the two away victories at Huddersfield Town (1-2) and Cardiff City (0-1) were extremely convenient. With these six points Bristol climbed back to fifth place and is only two points behind leader Reading.
During the international period Dean Holden welcomed a new defender. Adrian Mariappa has signed a contract with The Robins until the end of January. Mariappa was transfer-free after leaving Watford last summer. The Jamaican international was also previously under contract with Reading and Crystal Palace. The 34-year-old Mariappa can be used in the game against Derby County.
Due to a coronavirus outbreak, some players and staff members are missing from Bristol City. Bristol has not disclosed who is missing from the selection.
Derby County:
Unexpectedly, Phillip Cocu’s departure from Derby County was not last week. The Rams have had an extremely bad start to the season and are last with six points from eleven games. The last place is shared with Sheffield Wednesday, which started the season with a -12 points penalty. For the time being, Wayne Rooney, along with Shay Given, Justin Walker and Liam Rosenior, seems to be taking over the duties of Cocu and his assistants.
Due to self-isolation, Cocu was no longer present at the defeat against Barnsley. In the Pride Park Stadium, the number sixteen of the Championship was 0-2 too strong for The Rams. Without Dutch input, Kelle Roos was sitting on the bench and Mike te Wierik was missing from the match selection, Derby fell behind after half an hour. Despite a great predominance in possession, the greatest opportunities were for Barnsley. Just before time the second goal was scored and with that Derby lost for the seventh time in this early season. For the time being, the only win in the away match was at Norwich City. Unexpectedly, Derby won 0-1 when visiting the title candidate.
