Bristol City vs Derby Predictions

• Bottom-club Derby have lost seven off their last 11 games this term
• Bristol City have won their last two games
• The Robins won both meetings between the pair last term
• Derby have scored just five times in their 11 games this season

First taste of the Rooney reign

One of the things which attracted Wayne Rooney to Derby was the presence of Phillip Cocu, a man highly-rated by Louis van Gaal. Rooney was out to find another manager who could give him more coaching experience. In a way, that’s worked out for him.

Rooney is among the staff in interim charge as the Championship’s bottom side move on after Cocu’s sacking. With the club in the process of a takeover, no replacement is on the horizon. That’s not good news for the Rams, who have lost seven of 11 games this term.

Derby are winless in seven, while they head to a Bristol City side who have won consecutive games going into this clash. The Robins also won both meetings between the two last term, making them the favourites for us here.

With Derby yet to make a major change from the Cocu reign, we think their problems will continue. A Bristol City win is our first prediction, along with a 2-0 correct score given that Derby have scored five times in 11 games.
