Derby County Preview – Rams looking for three wins in a row
After 25 matches played, Derby County currently sit 21st in the table, collecting 25 points. So far, the Midlands outfit have won six, drawn seven and lost 12, scoring 16 and conceding 25 along the way.
County recently lost three league and cup games on the spin, losing to Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United in the league and being beaten by non-league side Chorley in the Emirates FA Cup.
However, since that poor 1-0 home league reverse to Rotherham on January 16th, Derby have hit back with vital back-to-back wins. After a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at Pride Park, Wayne Rooney’s men beat Queens Park Rangers at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium by the same scoreline last time out.
Derby will be desperate for a third successive Championship victory at the weekend. The home win is currently priced at 19/20.
Bristol City Preview – Can the Robins make it five wins in six?
Bristol City have been in patchy form over the past few months, but they have made a strong start to 2021. Since the turn of the year, Dean Holden’s men have won four of five in all competitions.
The Robins have had a very productive week. After seeing off Millwall at The Den by three goals to nil in the FA Cup last Saturday, City picked up a hard-fought league win over Huddersfield Town in midweek. A Famara Diedhiou brace gave the Bristol club a 2-1 victory over the Terriers at Ashton Gate.

Both teams will be looking for all three points from this one. However, we fancy the pair to cancel each other out at Pride Park. The draw at 5/2 is well worth having a punt on. There is also good value in the draw and both teams to score at 15/4.
Famara Diedhiou hit the winner in the reverse fixture at Ashton Gate a few months back. The Senegal striker has been in red-hot form of late, scoring five goals in his last five outings. Back Diedhiou to open the scoring at Pride Park at 15/2.
