Bet on Luton vs Derby

Hatters to Secure Vital Victory

Luton were plying their trade in the Premier League last term, but Rob Edwards’ men have struggled in the Championship so far. Having taken just 22 points from 21 games, the Hatters are only five points above the drop zone.

Derby were promoted from EFL League One last season, so staying in the Championship is their priority. County have won six, drawn six, and lost nine of their opening 21 league fixtures. They are seven points clear of 22^nd and two points away from the top half.

Luton were beginning to show signs of life after drawing with Swansea City and beating Stoke City, but they lost 2-0 at Blackburn Rovers last time out. On a positive note, Town are unbeaten in five on home turf (three wins, two draws).

Derby have struggled on the road this term, winning just once. However, they did hold Burnley to a draw at Turf Moor in their last away game. Can Paul Warne’s side pick up a positive result on Friday?

Recent Luton Town vs Derby County Head-to-Head Meetings

In the 2021-22 Championship season, Luton picked up four points from the two meetings. The pair played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at Pride Park, while a Danny Hylton goal was enough to give the Hatters a 1-0 win at Kenilworth Road.

Luton have a solid recent record in this fixture, losing just one of the last five. Derby have not won in Luton since a 2-0 Championship triumph way back in 2006.
