Bet In-Play on Bristol Derby

The Johnstone's Paint Football League Cup continues Wednesday, but it won't be just any old match between lower division teams this time: League One's Bristol City is set to host League Two's Bristol Rovers in a renewal of one of English football's fiercest historic cross-town rivalries.

This game will be particularly fierce given that the two sides have been split by playing in different divisions. The most recent match was in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy area final at Rovers' Memorial Stadium. It was won 1-0 by Rovers, who went on to become runner-up to Doncaster Rovers.

The game will also be notable because it pits Bristol City boss Aidy Boothroyd against his good friend, Bristol Rovers boss John Ward. The two men share the unusual distinction of having been sacked on the same day: it occurred on November 3, 2008, when Boothroyd was sacked by Northampton Town and Ward was given the flick by Carlisle United.William Hill Sports is offering the following pre-match odds on the Bristol Derby: Bristol City 4/6, draw 11/4, Bristol Rovers 7/2.
