Twine helps Bristol City win at Pride Park

Bristol City travel to Pride Park to face Derby County in the Championship.

Twine seals Bristol City win at Pride Park

Derby County enter the match with a difficult start to the season, after a 5-3 defeat to Coventry City and an opening loss to Stoke City. They did reach the second round of the Carabao Cup with a penalty shootout win over West Brom.

Bristol City are unbeaten in the league this season and drew 0-0 with Charlton Athletic at Ashton Gate last weekend. In last season's meetings, Derby beat City 3-0 at Pride Park, while City won the return fixture at Ashton Gate behind Luke McNally’s first-half header.

The Championship rewards momentum but punishes hesitation. This match could test Bristol City’s ability to press their unbeaten start while Derby look for a turning point early in the campaign. August fixtures will reveal which squad depth can carry teams through a crowded schedule, and Pride Park remains a venue where results can swing on a single moment.
