Derby County play host to Birmingham City on Sunday afternoon desperately requiring three points to boost their chances of avoiding relegation from the Championship.
While the Blues sit 12 points clear of the bottom three, there is still scope for the visitors being dragged into a battle for survival, particularly if they lose out at Pride Park.
We say: Derby County 2-1 Birmingham City
There will be a part of Bowyer's thinking where he considers a draw to be a good result from this contest. However, Blues are facing a side which will push hard for all three points, and that extra desire may serve the Rams well in the closing stages.

Nottingham Forest travel to South Wales to face Cardiff City looking to record their fourth successive win in the Championship.
While the visitors head into Sunday's contest sitting just outside of the playoff places, Cardiff begin the weekend three points above the relegation zone.
We say: Cardiff City 0-2 Nottingham Forest
While Morison's role in the dugout is seemingly under threat, he knows that he cannot afford to be too gung-ho in search of maximum points. Nevertheless, his approach to the game may prove irrelevant given Forest's recent form, and we are backing the visitors to claim a relatively comfortable win.
