Recent respective form guides

Bristol City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Robins have scored 7, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Derby County's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Rams have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bristol City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 36 points from 39 matches.

Derby County's 55 points from 39 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Robins at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Rams come away with an easy victory. Away win
