Prediction: 1-1
Bristol City
Pride Park will be the centre of attention when Derby County and Bristol City square off against each other in the Championship round 4. The Rams suffered a shocking loss to Barrow in the EFL Cup last 64, meaning that they will be fully focused on the Championship in upcoming days. All Kayden Jackson, David Ozoh, and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing return to the starting XI after the trio was rested in the midweek defeat, while the likes of Kane Wilson, Eiran Cashin, and Jake Rooney are out of contention with injuries.
The Robins, on the other hand, aim to remain undefeated in the 2024/2025 Championship campaign. Bristol City are not regarded as good travellers and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards at Pride Park. The likes of Rob Atkinson, Ross McCrorie, and Yu Hirakawa are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Nahki Wells):
Born on June 1, 1990 in Hamilton, Bermuda, Nahki Wells is a 170-cm-tall attacker who plays for the Bermuda national team. Wells is a product of Dandy Town Hornets youth academy and he continued playing for the Bermudan side at senior level.
The experienced striker played for the likes of Bermuda Hogges, Eccleshill United and Carlisle United before joining Bradford City in 2011. After spending three seasons at Valley Parade, Nahki Wells signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Huddersfield Town in the winter of 2014. In 2017 he moved to Burnley, but he played for Queens Park Rangers as a loan footballer in the 2018/2019 season.
Speaking of his international career, Wells made his debut for the Bermuda national team in 2007. He scored his first ever goal for Bermuda in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago. The Burnley man will represent the Gombey Warriors at the 2019 Gold Cup.
Highlighted Team (Derby):
Derby County is one of the 12 founder members of the Football League. However, nowadays the Rams compete in the Championship and they play their home matches at Pride Park Stadium. Derby County have won the two trophies in the English top flight (1971/1972, 1974/1975), with the team lifting the FA Cup trophy just after the World War II (1946).
Derby’s main rivals are Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Leeds United, but the rivalry between Forest and Derby is regarded as the biggest one.
The two teams take on each other in the East Midlands derby. The colour of Derby’s shirts is white, whilst their shorts are black. It has to be noted that the club was founded in 1884 by William Morley. The Rams competed in the European competitions four times, but they did not record a notable result in the European Cups. The club’s chairman is Mel Morris.
