Sports Mole looks ahead to Good Friday's Championship clash between Derby County and Bristol City at Pride Park.

Derby County have very little to play for when they host Bristol City on Good Friday, but the same cannot be said for their visitors.

Going into this encounter, Sean O'Driscoll's team are rooted to the bottom of the Championship table and are four points from safety. With matches running out, three points at Pride Park could prove crucial to their survival chances.

The omens are not good for the Robins though because they have picked up just 12 points away from home all season. That is the lowest total of all 24 teams in the division. What's more, their last victory on the road was achieved way back at the beginning of December.

O'Driscoll may recall Sam Baldock to the starting lineup for the trip to Derby, while reports have suggested that winger Albert Adomah could also be included.

Meanwhile, the home side will be without Mark O'Brien, who has undergone an operation to correct a persistent knee injury.
