Luton Town form and stats

8 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Luton Town have to build on here at Kenilworth Road Stadium in the Championship. Luton has recorded two wins in a row here at Kenilworth Road Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

A strong away win for Luton Town against Stoke City the last match, as Jerome and Hylton were on target. Bree (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.63/10. Bree hit three key passes.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against West Bromwich Albion.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the FA Cup game versus Chelsea in only four days. This game is also played here at Kenilworth Road Stadium.

The Luton Town fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 26 goals in 16 league matches. On the other hand, Luton have conceded 17 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Derby County form and stats

Derby County have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Championship, after 2-6-8 (16 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Derby County's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Derby County might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Millwall proved too strong as Derby County slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Pride Park Stadium. Morrison got a match rating of 7.3 in that game, top player of the team. Morrison dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 32 successful passes (of 35 total).

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Peterborough United.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and County playing away, we found five games. Results were two away wins, one draw and two home wins.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Cardiff City.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Derby County as they have only managed to score 11 times from 16 away games in the league. Derby County have conceded 21 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The former H2H meeting ended Derby County - Luton 2-2, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last nine matches): Luton Town three wins, two draws and Derby County four victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
