A dearth of games across Europe's top flights this weekend has left us with a pretty dull Sunday.
So attention turns to the two games in the Championship this afternoon. Derby County don't have their troubles to seek off the pitch but the club will have been boosted by the commitment displayed by boss Wayne Rooney who turned down the opportunity to speak to boyhood heroes Everton about their vacant managerial position.
Rooney has performed a minor miracle at Pride Park to keep the Rams in with a shout of staying up. If not for the points deduction they'd be 15th in the table and three points ahead of today's opponents Birmingham City.
Brum lie 19th but are comfortably clear of the relegation zone despite having won just one in their last eight (W1 D3 L5) and are without a win away from home since October. By contrast, Derby have won their last three at home and have only been beaten twice at home – By QPR and Blackburn who are both currently in the top four.
Derby have confirmed a sell-out crowd will be in attendance as fans rally round the club in it's hour of need. That could help swing things County's way at 13/10.
Later in the afternoon Nottingham Forest have the chance to move in to the play-off places with a win at Cardiff City. The Tricky Trees delivered for our Super Single earlier in the week with a comfortable win over Barnsley and can do so again this afternoon.
They've been so impressive since Steve Cooper arrived and have genuine promotion aspirations. Cooper has presided over just three defeats in his 21 in charge and will fancy picking up another three points against the Bluebirds who are trying to avoid being drawn in to a relegation battle.
Forest have won on their last two visits to the Welsh capital and can make it three from three at a handy looking 13/8.

Four, do one you waste of jizz ?
Cheers Elvis was on this..top drawer as always ?
Well done Elvis. Superb as usual, ignore the ?
Great stuff Elvis ?
W Lowery – I’m all for everyone being entitled to their own opinion but really there ought to be a clause for folk who can’t string a reasonable or rational thought together.
Elvis has been posting on here for a long time and I don’t think he’s ever said a cross word to anyone in that time.
He adds a bit of humour and he’s probably been one of, if not the, most prolific contributor of the last 18 months.
Not sure what you’re trying to prove with your comment ?♂️
W Lowry!What a first class tool you are, Elvis constantly puts up winner after winner yet all you can do is slate the flags, they bring a bit of colour to the site along with winner after winner, I for one look out for flags, as they add to my holiday fund each time ?
Another daft odds against winner on a completely threadbare fixture day. Very daft. I wish I could be that daft at times. ??
I’m now going to make a point of adding flags to my posts.
Keep up the great work admin. Let’s all ignore the clowns and keep producing winners and profit. ??????

Prediction : KV Kortrijk 3-2 Club Brugge
just read Admins slant on the predicament at Derby , and as much as us Scots could never claim to have Wayne Rooney on our Christmas card list i totally admire the courage and determination of him and his squad to reel themselves out of their current plight.
as a neutral with neither like/dislike for any club i hope they survive
as long as you have the mental strength anything is achievable in competitive sport ..
Not a fan of Rooney or Derby, league one will happen, watch him bail then……. Touted as a Utd manager one day, not a chance!
you may be right in your observation about League 1, and could be a high probability , but as long as you are still in with a chance of survival /success in any sport no matter your level you still have to have that positive attitude .
bet they guys are scratching at the doors to get to training / competing, cannae beat that in any ones terms
don,t know about future Man U manager , thats for the Directors/ Previous managers , ex Players to form a better opinion..
Porto game 3.5+mgls 5/4
Maduerira game btts 5/4
Guastatoya game btts 5/4
Treble pays 11.39/1…….
Following complaints that my flags and pointless write ups were causing distress I’ve decided to sell my flag collection on eBay and just kept 2 per country to add a bit of colour to my shortened ramblings ?.
Anyway on to tonight’s daft random game, and this may be the case as it throws up a bit of a head scratcher.
These 2 are amongst the lowest scorers in this league generally especially Medellin but the head to head record here bucks that trend.
** The last 9 and 13 of the last 15 at this venue seen BTTS and Medellin scored in all 15 **
Due to their general scoring form it’s not a NAP, just a daft random bet ?
——————————————————-
?? Independiente Medellín v Deportivo Cali ??
21:05
Colombian Categoria Primera A
Both teams to score 6-5 (HILLS)
1-1 probably best case scenario here.
——————————————————-
Team to score double
Independiente Medellin 1-2
America Cali 2-7 (23-10 kick off)
Pays 10-11 @hills
Elvis I’ve never had a problem with your flags I just thought they made finding the bet easier but who knows ?
Long live flags
THE GUYS A GOBSHITE ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Ivory coast?
W.LOWERY, WEE GUY THATS WHO AM ON ABOUT
CANT WAIT TILL WED MON THE HOOPS
Woefully short onthe Porto corners…should have stuck with cards…9 yellows with 5 to play ?
MARITIMO TO SCORE 1+ 6/5 NB (SKY) ??✅
St Etienne downed the NAP and didn’t even get on the scoresheet against a team a couple of divisions below them. A little solace in Maritimo though
Wdw ?
