Luton Town vs Derby County prediction 20.12.2024 | Championship

• Competition: Championship
• Date: 20th December 2024
• Kick-off: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Kenilworth Road

Luton Town will be looking to maintain their fine home form this week when they welcome Derby County to Kenilworth Road.

The hosts Luton come into this game on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers in Lancashire last weekend. It was just another example of how poor Rob Edwards' side have been on the road this season. Indeed, Luton Town have lost all seven of their last away games and shipped at least three goals in more than half of those fixtures. This is a very different form to the one we have witnessed at Kenilworth Road. The Hatters are unbeaten in their last five home games and conceded under one goal in all but one of those encounters.

Derby County meanwhile have not been at their best both at home and away in recent weeks. The visitors produced a rare performance to beat Portsmouth 4-0 at the iPro Stadium last time out, but they will take heart from the fact that they have now kept consecutive clean sheets. They are also unbeaten in their last three away games in the Championship, a record they will be keen to extend against Luton on Friday.

Luton Town vs Derby County Betting Tips: Luton to win or Draw

While Luton lost their last meeting without finding the back of the net, their performances at home have been different and I back them to take at least a point this week against Derby County.

The hosts have lost just one of their last nine games at Kenilworth Road - recording six wins and two draws - and they also have a good record against Derby County at the ground, having won each of the last three meetings.

• Best Tip: Luton Double Chance
