Derby v Bristol City: Match Preview
Derby have lost both of their opening games and will be looking for their first Championship points of the season this evening.
John Eustace has plenty of pedigree in the second tier, but at present doesn't seem able to get a tune out of his Rams side.
Derby are currently one of six teams without a point in the Championship this season, and they are now at risk of starting a season with three consecutive league defeats for the first time since 2020-21.
As for Bristol City, their hopes of another top-six finish this season have been bolstered by a positive start, having won one and drawn one to this point.
The Robins beat Sheffield United 4-1 before drawing 0-0 with Charlton and will hope their strong start will stand them in good stead in front of the Sky Sports cameras this evening.
Gerhard Stuber's side lost one of their games against Derby last season, with Liam Manning in charge, and they have won six of their previous eight head-to-head league matches (L2).
FourFourTwo's prediction
Derby County 0-1 Bristol City
Derby have been less than convincing so far this season, and Eustace will have to quickly find a tune out of his players to stop tonight ending in yet another defeat. The Robins easily swept aside Sheffield United on opening day and despite not scoring against Charlton, we can see a narrow victory for them this evening.
