Luton Town 2-1 Derby County

Current streaks

Recent form

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Hatters struggling to find consistency in the Championship. Currently sitting in 19th position, they have managed just two wins in their last six matches, interspersed with three defeats and a draw. Their defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding 11 goals in this period, with a high-scoring 4-2 defeat at Norwich City standing out. Luton have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five games, which is a concern for manager Nathan Jones. While they've shown they can score, netting in five of their last six matches, their goal difference of -5 over this period highlights their defensive frailties. The Hatters' home form has been slightly better, with a win and a draw in their last two matches at Kenilworth Road, but their away performances remain a worry, having lost their last two on the road.

Derby County

Derby County's recent form has been a mixed bag, with a notable improvement in their latest match. The Rams have endured a challenging period, going winless for five consecutive games before a resounding 4-0 victory against Portsmouth. This high-scoring win stands out as their most impressive result in the recent fixtures. Derby's defensive record has been inconsistent, keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches, but also conceding two goals in each of their three consecutive losses against Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday, and Swansea. Their goal difference over this period is neutral, having scored and conceded seven goals each. Despite their current 14th position in the Championship, Derby's ability to score four goals in their most recent match suggests potential for improvement in their offensive output.

Recent home/away form

Luton Town

Luton Town have shown impressive resilience at home recently, with their last six matches at Kenilworth Road yielding three wins, two draws, and only one defeat. The Hatters have been particularly strong defensively, conceding just five goals in these six games, with two clean sheets to their name. Whilst not prolific in attack, Luton have managed to score in every home game during this period, albeit with a modest average of 1.17 goals per match. Notably, they are currently on a three-game unbeaten run at home, which includes two consecutive 1-0 victories against Hull City and Cardiff City. The majority of Luton's recent home fixtures have been tight affairs, with 67% of these games featuring under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring encounters at Kenilworth Road.

Derby County

Derby County's away form has been rather inconsistent in recent matches, with the Rams struggling to find consistent success on the road. In their last six away games, Derby have managed just one win, accompanied by three draws and two losses. The team have been finding goals hard to come by, netting only five times in these six matches, averaging less than a goal per game. Defensively, they've been somewhat more solid, conceding seven goals and keeping one clean sheet. Interestingly, two-thirds of Derby's away games have seen both teams score, suggesting they're often involved in competitive matches. However, the majority of these games (67%) have been low-scoring affairs with under 2.5 goals. There are no notable runs of consecutive wins or losses in this period, nor any particularly high-scoring encounters, which further emphasises the team's inconsistent form and struggle for goals away from home.
