Prediction

  • Two wins from two and unbeaten in three games is an impressive start to life at Pride Park for Steve McLaren.
  • Ten goals in those three games is equally stunning and the Rams are starting to look up the table rather than down.
  • Birmingham on the other hand have been in woeful form away from home, conceding nine goals in their last three games away from St Andrews.
  • The City team that plays on the road appears to be a completely different side that plays at home and Derby are unlikely to succumb to a shock defeat at Pride Park.

Derby 3 – 1 Birmingham
