Derby vs Bristol City Prediction & Betting tips
Derby County returns after a ten-day absence to Pride Park where it receives Bristol City. The hosts are still undefeated while Bristol City won for the first time this season last weekend. Can we expect an exciting duel? Looking ahead!
Derby County:
Derby County, which again has a Dutch touch this season, is still unbeaten after three matches. However, this undefeated status means that four points have already been lost. With five points from three matches, we find the men of Philip Cocu in eighth place. The goal of the policymakers is for Derby County to reach the play-offs, but the selection seems to have lost some of its quality this season compared to last season. In the wake of manager Frank Lampard, defender Fikayo Tomori and number ten Mason Mount left for Chelsea.
Last weekend, Derby County played the tricky away match in Stoke-on-Trent against Stoke City. Martyn Waghorn gave Derby the lead within a hundred seconds when he valued a fine pass from Kieran Dowell. Hereafter, the home team took the initiative and Philip Cocu was lucky that his team did not fall behind. Only Liam Lindsey found it just before Stoke City. After the break, Scott Hogan signed for the 2-1, after which Waghorn secured a point from the spot midway through the second half. His penalty kick was very weak in the middle, but Jack Butland just couldn’t put his foot on it. The results are great for Derby, but the football leaves something to be desired.
Bristol City:
Bristol City picked up again last Saturday by winning the home game against Queens Park Rangers 2-0. It marked the first victory in the Championship for Bristol City. Coincidentally, these two teams also faced each other midweeks. In London, QPR took the penalty kicks better, so that Bristol City was eliminated very early in the League Cup.
Again City and QPR in Bristol were well matched. This time the best chances were for Bristol City and QPR had the ball, but it rarely became dangerous. Hungarian midfielder Adam Nagy gave the home team the lead after more than half an hour. He came over from Bologna last summer and effortlessly adapted and made Marlon Pack forget. On the hour it was Stoke City mercenary Benik Afobe who decided the game after good preparatory work from Andreas Weimann. Because of the victory, Bristol City is in the still early season eleventh with four points from three games and the coveted sixth place is already in sight.
