Bristol City and Derby to conjure up goals at Ashton Gate
Bristol City vs Derby County - 12/02/2020
2794
Bristol City’s impressive 4-match winning streak in the Championship was brought to an abrupt end last Friday night when they were handed a 3-1 defeat by fast-improving Birmingham City at Ashton Gate, but the hosts have another chance to redeem themselves against Derby County on Wednesday night.
Bristol City had previously racked up wins over Wigan Athletic, Barnsley, Reading and QPR but before that much-needed winning streak, The Robins had lost 5 of the 6 matches prior to that!
The long and the short of it is that Bristol City are not to be trusted in the win markets, but the goals have continued to flow even if the wins have been intermittent, with the hosts scoring and conceding 21 goals at home so far this season, so the goals market looks the best option here.
Indeed, 9 of Bristol City’s 15 home matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals while 4 of their last 7 meetings against Derby County have also seen 3 goals or more scored.
Onto Derby County and The Rams seem to have re-discovered a new lease of life under manager, Philip Coco, as the visitors have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 8 matches overall in the Championship.
This impressive turnaround in results has helped lift Derby up into a far more respectable looking 13th place and mid-table security in the second tier following a nervous period of results which saw Derby endure a 7-match spell without a win.
Recent wins against Charlton Athletic, Barnsley, Hull City, Stoke City and Swansea City have helped fire Derby back into form although it should be noted that 4 of these 5 wins were recorded on home turf at Pride Park.
Results away from home though continue to elude Derby for the large part as The Rams have collected just 2 away wins so far in this Championship campaign, but they too have been involved in a fair few goals on their travels to date.
15 goals for but 30 goals against has been the main reason why Derby’s wins on the road have been limited to just two, but 10 of Derby’s 15 away matches this term have also resulted in over 2.5 goals.
As both teams possess an inconsistent streak, the over 2.5 goals market looks the best option in this clash.
